HR7 – L 5: The design work was started under David Jones as a passenger equivalent of the Big Goods 4-6-0. In fact there are great similarities between the two chassis of the locomotives. The locomotives of the Castle Class were put into service by Jones’s successor Peter Drummond in 1900. The first 10 locomotives were delivered between 1900 and 1902 by Dübs. The locomotives were numbered from 140 to 149. 2 further locomotives numbered 30 and 35 were built in 1910/11 by the NBL. All these engines were Series 1 types. In 1913, a further 4 engines were constructed with an extended smokebox and modified cab front and tender detail differences. These were numbered 26 to 29 and were known as series 2. The kit will require a chassis, wheels, motor, gears and all fittings of the builders choosing to complete. Suitable fittings are available in the Shedmaster /Laurie Griffin range.

An additional fret to construct the French version of the castle is available. This consists of a new footplate and cab as well as a selection of number plates for the Etat Syatem locomotives and those that survived to SNCF days. The cost of the French kit remains as the Highland version at a total of £150.00 for chassis, body, tender and new fret.
The fret can be made available as a single item. Please contact me for details.

- HR7 - L 6: The fourth Duke of Sutherland desired a modern engine for his private train and asked David Jones to design and arrange for its construction. This was done in 1895 and the original livery was Dark Green with black lining double edged in gold. When overhauled in 1946 the engine was brightened up with a coat of green paint and the lining was altered in its layout. The locomotive was sold in 1949 and went to New Romney where it was exhibited until sold to a Canadian in 1965, then passed to a museum in British Columbia where it was until 2011. The coach and Dunrobin were purchased by Beamish Museum for its use.
