LMS 14768 'Clan Mackenzie' at Buchanan Street, August 1937

The last class of locomotive built for the Highland Railway was the 'Clan' class of 4-6-0 passenger engines. Designed by Christopher Cumming, the first four (numbered 49, 51, 52 & 53) were delivered in 1919 and four more (numbered 54 to 57) were delivered in 1921. Built by Hawthorn Leslie & Co. in Newcastle, all members of the class survived into LMS ownership but only one was still working after the formation of British Railways.

This photograph shows LMS 14768 'Clan Mackenzie' (formerly HR 56) at Buchanan Street station in Glasgow in August 1937. It continued in service until being withdrawn in March 1945.
