Highland Railway Strath Class
From TrainSpottingWorld, for Rail fans everywhere
The Highland Railway Strath Class 4-4-0s were introduced in 1892.
Twelve were built by Neilson and Company and delivered between May and July of that year.
They were identical to the Clyde Bogies apart from having boilers of a larger diameter which allowed an increased heating surface.
- Boiler pressure: 160 lbf/in² (1.1 MPa).
- Cylinders: 17 by 24 in (432 by 610 mm).
- Driving wheel diameter: 6 ft 3 in (1.9 m).

No 91 was withdrawn early in 1924 and stored at Aviemore until called for breaking up. Four others of the class were also withdrawn that year.
