Highland Railway Strath Class
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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).
