I'm fairly sure the loco here is 27066, seen leaving Stirling with the Menstrie - Mossend Speedlink in early September 1986. The small yellow tanks conveyed molasses. Twenty years later I can't remember much about this particular afternoon, but I think I was waiting for a train north. The 27 was shunting near the station, and I had time for a walk to the first overbridge to the south which enabled me to get this shot. The only other thing I remember about this occasion was that I bought the NME from the station bookstall, which could mean this was Wednesday 3rd September (the NME came out on a Wednesday if I recall correctly). It's odd, the little details that you can remember after such an interval.
