Caledonian Railway 60 Class
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Caledonian Railway 60 Class were 4-6-0 passenger engines designed by William Pickersgill and introduced in 1916. Five were built and all of them passed into LMS ownership in 1923 and into British Railways ownership in 1948.
A modified version was built by the LMS under the auspices of George Hughes in the period 1925-1926. Twenty of these were built and sources differ as to whether 14 or 18 passed into British Railways ownership.
