08 938 wore the Westie when in Railfreight grey livery, there is a photo somewhere of it in the Fort William area on the internet that I have viewed recently but which I now can't find !

I've found some of the photos of 08 938 which include it at Fort William, interestingly (to me) it is in it's 2nd Grey livery by this time with Motherwell's 'leaping salmon' logo ....I was sure that I'd also seen it at FW in the Eastfield 'Scottie dog livery.' An account of these paint jobs is given in Traction Iss.266.

Another of 08 938 at Fort William in 1989, again in the Motherwell livery. I understand from the article in Traction Iss.266 that the loco had been languishing in the back of Eastfield shed untouched for some time before it was resurrected and repainted into it's first unique grey livery but nobody could remember why until it started to derail in the local yards and was found to have very worn tyres ! The 2nd grey livery came after it's visit to works for rectification.
