In Scotland after the Grouping in 1923 the LNER relied heavily on the stock of former North British Railway 0-6-0 classes to work the huge amounts of goods and mineral traffic it handled. These comprised of almost three-hundred and fifty examples that dated from the Matthew Holmes designed Class ‘C’ of the 1880s to the William Reid designed Classes ‘B’ and ‘S’ from 1906 onward.

Passenger traffic remained mainly in the hands of the Holmes and Reid designed 4-4-0s with much of the Edinburgh and Aberdeen traffic capably handled by the majestic ‘Atlantic’ class allocated to Haymarket, Ferryhill and Dundee Tay Bridge sheds.

This collection brings together many previously unpublished photographs and shows examples of a number of former NBR Classes that never reached the Nationalisation of the railways in 1948.
