A historic steam locomotive rolled into Aberdeen on Saturday during its “Aberdonian tour” of the north-east.
The LMS Jubilee Class 5690 Leander was met with excitement from railway enthusiasts keen to see the 87-year-old train.
The locomotive, built in 1936, travelled the length of Aberdeenshire through Laurencekirk and Stonehaven before arriving in Aberdeen.
Crowds had their cameras ready as the locomotive rolled into the Ferryhill junction.
Once there, crews got to work watering and refilling the locomotive with coal before it was rotated on the turntable, ready to head for Edinburgh Waverley.
Normally, crowds don’t get to see a locomotive like this up close, however, organisers decided to open the Ferryhill Railway Heritage Trust site to visitors to catch a piece of history on the move.
Earlier this month, the site welcomed one of the most famous trains in Scotland, The Flying Scotsman, whose arrival also sparked excitement among north-east railway enthusiasts.
Our photographer Kami Thomson was at the event to capture the locomotive in action.
