| In Spring 1991. A pictorial record of the loading transportation and unloading of the LMS designed 1937 built GUV No. 37907 from Ferryhill shed in Aberdeen to Brechin. The wagon had been used latterly as a stores vehicle at the depot, hence the Denparts ScR identificartion. The depot closed in around 1987 and it had lain in the yard along with a small selection of other wagons including a demountable tank wagon. Some of these made their way to Brechin after this time.
Ironically this wagon made a return journey north and is now based at the Royal Deeside Railway, where it will hopefully be restored |
1. The GUV at Ferryhill. There was no future in the Austin Allegro providing the motive power. |
10. 27001 pulls the wagon off the trailer. |
11. Unfortunately the GUV was never restored at the railway. It was however a useful stores wagon. |
|
2. A ramp is being built onto the trailer. The Geddes tractor unit is in position ready to tow the wagon onto the trailer. |
3. The loading |
4. All loaded. An Aberdeen based 08 spins by for a look. |

6. Some skilled driving and the lorry is on the move. |
8. A wagon on a roof rack on the A90? |
9. Approaching the station the lorry gate crashes a wedding in St Ninians Square. |

The tractor unit is attached. |
