            On a rather grey and damp August Bank Holiday Sunday 27206 departs Glasgow Central light engine, 29th August 1976.

Locomotive History
27206 was originally D5412 and is one of sixty nine class 27 locomotives built by the Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company (BRCW) during 1961 and 1962. D5412 was delivered in September 1962 and was one of a large batch of class 27’s delivered for Midland Main Line duties. In March 1969 it was transferred to Eastfield and in late 1970 it returned south, entering Derby works to be modified for Glasgow-Edinburgh push/pull duties. By the late 1960s, the class 126 DMU’s operating the Edinburgh – Glasgow Queen Street service were becoming unreliable and they were replaced in 1971 by rakes of six Mark IIa carriages powered by two class 27 locomotives fitted with push-pull equipment. Twenty four class 27 locomotives were fitted with push – pull equipment and dual brakes and twelve of these were also fitted with electric train heating capability via an auxiliary engine/alternator set. Initially allocated 27124 under the 1973 TOPS renumbering scheme (which did not differentiate between the two sub classes of push pull fitted class 27’s) it was almost immediately changed to 27206. The very intensive 90 mph service was demanding on the class 27 locomotives and reliability started to suffer with the class 27/2 sub class being prone to fire damage from their electric train heating equipment. Following the Glasgow-Edinburgh push/pull duties going over to class 47/7 operation in 1980 the push – pull and electric train heating equipment was removed from 27206 and it was renumbered to 27060. It was withdrawn in March 1986 and sent to Vic Berry Leicester for breaking up, which was completed by October 1987.
