Manufacturer description

The Caledonian Railway 264 and 611 Classes, commonly known as the “Pug,” were 0-4-0 saddle tank locomotives built for the Caledonian Railway. The Class 264 was introduced in 1883 to a design by Dugald Drummond and built by Neilson and Company, with the related Class 611 following from 1895 under John F. McIntosh and built at St Rollox Works.

Some of these were paired with a small, improvised coal tender attached behind them, providing extra coal capacity beyond what the original saddle tank could hold. After the 1923 Grouping they passed into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, and subsequently to British Railways in 1948. Withdrawals were completed between 1959 and 1962. No examples of the class were preserved.

Model details

Oxford CR Class 264/611 – CR Lined Black 266 is a scale model produced under manufacturer part number OR76CRP001. The model represents the Caledonian Railway 264 and 611 classes as they appeared before the 1923 Grouping.

The locomotives, commonly called “Pugs”, were 0‑4‑0 saddle‑tank engines. Class 264 was introduced in 1883 to a design by Dugald Drummond and built by Neilson and Company. The related Class 611 followed in 1895 under the direction of John F. McIntosh and was constructed at the St Rollox Works. Some examples were fitted with a small improvised coal tender behind the tank to increase fuel capacity.

After the Grouping on 26 February 1923 the locomotives passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and, from 1 January 1948, to British Railways. All were withdrawn between 1959 and 1962 and no examples were preserved.
