Scottish Pride.....
Caledonian No.828, is the sole surviving member of the 812 Class which was designed and built by McIntosh for express goods trains, excursion traffic and the Clyde Coast fast boat trains connecting with the Company's steamers. No.828 was built in 1899 and delivered from St Rollox Works during August of that year.
No.828 is the only locomotive of pure McIntosh design remaining in Britain and is therefore quite unique. In its beautiful blue livery and carrying the royal arms of Scotland it is a striking example of the artistry, craftsmanship and technical excellence which typified the Caledonian Railway at the end of the nineteenth century.
