It is a shame because it is a very nice colour shot by Robin Barbour, of 70000 passing Hawick in the 1960s on a fitted freight.

However, all may not be lost because the photo is still on the Disused Stations website under Hawick (2nd site) at
http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/h/hawick/index.shtml

But you will have to scroll about 3/4 of the way down the page to reach it.
The 'weathering' on the nearside cylinder casing is not one that I would dare attempt on my model.
Got it! Thanks SS.
As you say, a very nice shot. In fact, that location's coverage in 'disused-stations' is photgraphically quite good in general.
