Pickersgill's (the Caledonian's last CME) final development of the line of Caledonian 0-6-0 engines, the Class 300 was introduced in 1918 and gave long service with the last being withdrawn in 1963 at the end of Caledonian steam.
With a higher set boiler than the Class 812, 'teardrop' cab windows and tender coal-rails they were quite distinctive among the various classes of Caley 0-6-0. Built only with steam brake they were a goods-only engine except for a few which were vacuum fitted by the LMS latter on. Most were superheated by the LMS.
This kit is currently in development and will feature a resin-cast one-piece smokebox/boiler/firebox.
Earlier tenders had standard axlebox springs while later builds had an adjustable pattern. Please see CT04 for drawings and please select the pattern of axlebox required when ordering.
