Memories of Eastfield with class 26 class 37 class 47 and class 20

Its hard for me to believe it was 20 years ago I filmed these clips of Eastfield depot in Glasgow, these are some of my first video shots and were filmed on pretty poor standard equipment. Never-the-less its a nice record filmed on 6th April 1990 just two years before the depot closed.
It was a meca for diesel fans and was a fascinating place to visit. On this occasion amongst the locos filmed were 20186-26001-008-010-034-039-046-37423-37707-47550-606-617-709.
The more modern clips were filmed in August 1992 just 4 months before the depot closed and features 26011 26002 26028 and green celebrities 26001 and 26007.

Good one. Was it Scotland? The 26s suggest it, but your last one was Stratford. . . Alan

@balmesh Hi Alan, yep it was Scotland , I had to nip out whilst it was uploading so didnt complete the description. As you can see it was the mighty Eastfield which was in Glasgow. A very special place. RIP
