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 – BR Late Crest Plain Black 56029 Sound Version is a model kit produced by Oxford. The manufacturer part number is OR76CRP006XS and the kit represents the pre‑grouping period of the Caledonian Railway.

The Caledonian Railway 264 and 611 classes, often called “Pug”, were 0‑4‑0 saddle‑tank locomotives. Class 264 was introduced in 1883 to a design by Dugald Drummond and built by Neilson and Company. The related Class 611 followed from 1895 under John F. McIntosh and was constructed at the St Rollox Works. Some examples were equipped with a small, improvised coal tender attached behind the locomotive to increase coal capacity beyond the original saddle tank.

After the 1923 Grouping the locomotives passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and then to British Railways in 1948. Withdrawals were completed between 1959 and 1962 and no members of the class were preserved.
