The NCB Ayrshire area colliery at Kirkmellington was a hive of activity in the early 70s with plenty for spotters to enjoy:

Nice layout I particularly like the big Barclay. In the Doon valley the pugs were always well looked after and kept clean. The copious rain and lack of industrial pollution helped of course. Nice to see the Sentinal which was the last commercial working loco on the Waterside system, and still there.

However Pecketts were quite rare beasts in Ayrshire and there were none in the West Ayr area of the NCB. There were some examples, the Ayr Harbour board engine being very similar to yours, so modellers licence perfectly valid. Hawthorns of Leith locos were also rare beasts but this one got a rebuild at Dunaskin in 1903.

Ian.
