24006 (background) while mostly intact,waits silently at Glasgow (St Rollox)
works around October 1980 for the scrapman to come forward with his
torch and apply the same fate wich has overcome Class 25 - 25009
(foreground) which only has it's underframe & bogies left intact.
24006 was the penultimate class 24 to be cut up (24142 being the last
at a Sheffield scrapyard in 1984),however it was the last class 24 to
be scrapped at a BR works.
