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 – LMS Plain Black 16028 is a detailed model replica of the Caledonian Railway “Pug” locomotives. The product is supplied under manufacturer part number OR76CRP003 and represents the pre‑grouping period.

The locomotives depicted are 0‑4‑0 saddle‑tank engines originally introduced in 1883 (Class 264, designed by Dugald Drummond and built by Neilson and Company) and later in 1895 (Class 611, designed by John F. McIntosh and constructed at St Rollox Works). Some units were fitted with a small improvised coal tender attached behind the tank to increase fuel capacity.

After the 1923 Grouping the engines passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and, in 1948, to British Railways. All members of the class were withdrawn between 1959 and 1962, and none were preserved.
