Class 26 no. 037 and Class 27 no. 005 arrive at platform 2 of Stirling station with the 10.38 Glasgow Queen Street to Perth. The class 26 is in fine looking condition after being outshopped from Glasgow Works (British Rail Engineering Limited).
Glasgow works would use this train to test if a locomotive was ready to return to duty. If class 26 no. 037 was to fail on this service then class 27 no. 005 would ensure the train got to Perth.
