Despite their antiquated appearance and miscellaneous origins, most of the 1860s ‘rebuilt’ 0-6-0s were reboilered and modernized by Holmes. No 155 received this treatment in 1898 and lasted in traffic until 1914.

Among the first products of Dübs & Co in 1865 were the six 2-4-0s of the 341 class based very closely on the 90 class by Neilsons. These locomotives remained unaltered except for superficial details until withdrawal in the 1880s and 1890s

This collection shows my growing collection of drawings of the locomotives of the North British Railway, mostly in the years before 1900. All these drawings were prepared using CAD and "captured" from the graphic display before being converted to JPEG. All are based on information derived from official sources found in museums and archives. For more about this collection, and fuller captions to the drawings, see http://www.noble101.freeserve.co.uk/page2.htm, http://www.noble101.freeserve.co.uk/Captions.pdf and http://www.noble101.freeserve.co.uk/Cadintro.pdf (these are only updated occasionally to spare the host work, so not all drawings may be captioned at all times). I will respond to serious requests from modellers wishing more detailed drawings of a particular type: if you wish to be in touch please leave a message on the 'comments' section, which I check from time to time.
