    11/107 = Is this Dalry Road or St Margarets - considering the background flats are more akin to Jock's Lodge

    I have added a new collection featuring W. Pickersgill Caledonian Railway 300 class 0-6-0

    The Caledonian Railway 300 Class were freight 0-6-0 tender engines introduced in 1918 and designed by William Pickersgill. Forty-three were built between 1918 and 1920. They were numbered 294–324, 280, 281, 670–679 by the Caledonian Railway.
    In 1923, they all passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, and were classified 3F, and renumbered 17650–17692. On nationalisation in 1948, the twenty-three survivors passed into British Railways stock, and were renumbered by adding 40000 to their LMS numbers.
    Numbering table
    CR nos. Quantity LMS nos. BR nos.
    294-324 31 17650-17680 57650-57680
    280-281 2 17681-17682 57681-57682
    670-679 10 17683-17692 57683-57692
    Note 1
    Not all the BR numbers were actually applied because some engines had been withdrawn before 1948. They were withdrawn between 1934 and 1963, and all were scrapped.
