locomotive designs of the Caledonian Railway

The Caledonian Railway 812 and 652 Classes were 0-6-0 steam tender locomotives designed by John F. McIntosh for the Caledonian Railway and introduced in 1899. They had the same boiler type as the 721 “Dunalastair” Class 4-4-0s. They were nicknamed "Jumbos"

The Caledonian Railway 782 Class was a class of 0-6-0T steam locomotives designed by John F. McIntosh and introduced in 1896. The 29 Class was similar but fitted with condensing apparatus. The locomotives were taken into London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) ownership in 1923 and into British Railways (BR) ownership in 1948.

I have added a new collection featuring McIntosh Caledonian Railway 498 Class 0-6-0T Dock Tank

The Caledonian Railway 498 Class was a class of 0-6-0Ts built for dock shunting. They were designed by John F. McIntosh for the Caledonian Railway (CR) and introduced in 1911. Twenty-three were built. They passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) in 1923 and to British Railways (BR) in 1948.

I have a lot of new photos of Dugald Drummond and later John F. McIntosh Caledonian Railway 264 and 611 class 'Caledonian Pugs'
The Caledonian Railway 264 and 611 classes were 0-4-0 saddle tank locomotives designed by Dugald Drummond and built by Neilson and Company in 1885. Later examples were built at St Rollox Works under the direction of John F. McIntosh in 1895, 1900, 1902 and 1908.
These small shunters remained in long service under the LMS (who gave all Neilson saddle locomotives the power class 0F, shared by many other types) and British Railways, with the last of the class withdrawn in 1962. The two classes, sometimes referred to by the generic term "pugs", were mainly used as works shunters in the area around Glasgow, Scotland, often running with home-made tenders to improve their small coal capacity.Like most 0-4-0 tanks of the period they had outside cylinders and inside slide valves driven by Stephenson valve gear. A number were later sold into private industry and several even made it as far south as Crewe where they acted as works shunters in British Railways days. None have survived into preservation.
They are easily confused with the earlier 1882-built ex-North British Railway Class Y-9 (NBR Class G), also designed by Dugald Drummond to a similar saddle tank design, although the 264/611 are distinguished by a taller chimney and larger circular windows. Both were originally commissioned from Drummond by Neilson & Co to a standard design and were used by North British, LNER and British Railways. One NBR Y-9 shunter (No. 42 68095) has been preserved at the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway museum.
Construction was spread over several years, and eventually totalled 34 locomotives,
All were built at the St Rollox Works of the Caledonian Railway. Orders Y1, Y22 and Y27 were placed by Dugald Drummond and formed the 264 Class; the remainder were ordered by John F. McIntosh and formed the 611 Class.

The Caledonian Railway 60 Class were 4-6-0 passenger engines designed by William Pickersgill and introduced in 1916. Six were built by the Caledonian Railway at its own St. Rollox works in 1916–17, and all of them passed into LMS ownership in 1923. A further twenty locomotives of a slightly modified design were built by the LMS under the auspices of George Hughes in the period of 1925–1926.

The 60 Class were rugged and free steaming, but were unsophisticated and of lethargic performance for their size. Although classified as passenger locomotives by the LMS, latterly they spent much of their time on goods trains and acquired the nickname Greybacks, either in reference to their long and grimy boilers or possibly as an insult from former Glasgow and South Western Railway enginemen ('greyback' being an old term for louse). Withdrawals began in 1944 but twenty three passed into British Railways ownership in 1948. The last locomotives were withdrawn from service in 1953, and all were scrapped.

I have added a new collection featuring W. Pickersgill 113 & 72 Class in the C.R./LMS era

The Caledonian Railway 72 Class was a class of 4-4-0 steam locomotives introduced by William Pickersgill for the Caledonian Railway (CR) in 1920. Thirty-two locomotives were built and all survived to be taken over by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) in 1923 and by British Railways (BR) in 1948. The earlier 113 Class (introduced in 1916), of which 16 were produced, were similar but slightly smaller. These were the Caledonian's last express passenger locomotives, and technically, the last of the Dunalastair series, and were unofficially dubbed, Dunalastair V.

The two classes together totalled 48 locomotives. No. 54481 was scrapped after an accident at Gollafield Junction in 1953, the remainder were withdrawn between 1959 and 1962.

I have added a new collection featuring W. Pickersgill Caledonian Railway 191 Class 4-6-0

The Caledonian Railway 191 Class were 4-6-0 passenger engines designed by William Pickersgill and built in 1922 by the North British Locomotive Company. The class was intended for use on the Callander and Oban line, to augment the 55 Class 4-6-0s and replace elderly 179 Class 4-4-0s, and they were thus known as the New Oban Bogies, however, they were also used on other Caledonian lines.
The locomotives were not completely successful, having a reputation for being short of steam unless skilfully fired, and the dubious distinction of the highest total locomotive hammerblow of any locomotive class inherited by the LMS upon its formation in 1923. The lack of superheating was a curious omission from a type introduced as late as 1922. This may not have helped their steaming problems.
All locomotives withdrawn by 1945

Hi Neil. That first picture of 14619 looks to have been taken in Glen Lochy, between Dalmally and Tyndrum, rather than near Taynuilt. The train contains an interesting collection of vehicles.
