Highland Railway Strath Class


The Highland Railway Strath Class were 4-4-0 steam locomotives introduced in 1892, to the design of David Jones.

Construction

Twelve were built by Neilson and Company and delivered between May and July 1892.

Design

They were identical to the class E Clyde Bogies apart from having boilers of a larger diameter which allowed an increased heating surface.

Numbering

Transfer to LMS

Half of the class survived to be taken over by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway at the 1923 Grouping but the last was withdrawn in 1930.
