Caledonian Railway 4-6-0 steam locomotive No. 959 of the 956 Class as LMS 14803
The Caledonian Railway 956 Class were 3-cylinder 4-6-0 steam locomotives that were used on the Caledonian Railway from 1921. They were built to the design of William Pickersgill. At the time they were the largest design operated by a Scottish railway. The locomotives were large and visually very impressive, but they were not successful and never really got established in traffic. Being a non-standard class of only four locomotives the LMS showed no interest in rebuilding them further and they were all withdrawn between 1931 and 1935. No. 959, shown here, was withdrawn in July 1933 as LMS 14803
