The Highland Railway Drummond 0-6-4T Class were primarily intended for banking duty.
Of Peter Drummond design, the first four were built by the North British Locomotive Company and delivered in 1909. A further four followed in 1911.
The design was derived from that of the 0-6-0 tender engines and leading dimensions were very similar although the boiler and firebox are recorded as being 'larger' but by an unspecified amount.
They were not popular with their crews, many thought them heavy and clumsy, and several crews had problems with water capacity. It seems their axleboxes were not well-proportioned either as there are reports of consistent hot box problems.
