This book covers the designs of Dugald Drummond, John Lambie, JF McIntosh and William Pickersgill. During this period, the Company was at the forefront of locomotive design. For express passenger work, locos capable of climbing to Beattock summit and running the long distance from Carlisle to Perth were required. For goods traffic, the numerous collieries and industrial plants of the Central Belt had to be handled, together with the associated shunting at numerous sidings and yards. Weight restrictions on the hilly Callander & Oban line required bespoke designs. Throughout the period, passenger locomotives displayed the Company's distinctive blue livery. In this volume, the author describes the design practices developed by each of the Locomotive Superintendents, followed by details of each class, accompanied by suitable drawings and illustrations. Together with David Hamilton's 'Caledonian Locomotives: The Formative Years', these two volumes provide the definitive history of Caledonian Railway motive power.
