Report Date Title Report Source
30/09/1951 \"K2\" runs hot 'K2' No. 61722 recently ran hot near Milngavie Junction, and was immediately removed from its train and placed in a siding. 'C16' (6)7488 happened to be coming light from Milngavie at the time and was put on to the 'West Highland' to Queen St. The train was delayed only nine minutes, through quick action on the part of all concerned. The brasses of 61722 had almost ceased to exist when she was finally got into the siding. SLS/195111
