June 20, 2004: Waverley approaching Largs pier on the west of Scotland en-route for a day excursion to Campbeltown. She sports her restored colours of the former London and North Eastern Railway which she wore only for a few months after her introduction to service in 1948. As a footnote, my uncle, Neil Maclachlan who  now lives in Windsor, Canada was one of a team of apprentices involved in the making of her engines. The company was Messrs Rankin and Blackmore's Eagle Foundry of Baker Street, Greenock, Scotland.
