The depot at St Rollox held an open-day in June 1981 - I think Shields Road provided the Class 81 (on the right in the background). Not sure which Class 37 this was, but it was sporting the latest livery of the times ! Some rail-fans travelled all the way from the south of England in a Ford Transit van painted up to look like a Deltic, complete with "FP" depot sticker !
