| On the 31st of October 1993, LMS black 5,
no. 44871 "Sovereign" made three trips to East Kilbride to mark the 150th
anniversary of the branch. Due to operational difficulties, it was
only possible to have steam haulage on the outward journey and it was necessary
to provide a diesel locomotive to work the train back to the Central.
The locomotive chosen was 37275, which had recently been named "Oor Wullie"
after the cartoon character in the Scottish Sunday Post. |
