NBR Drummond 0-6-0T in photographic grey livery
Although Wheatley had introduced a number of 0-6-0ST designs (J81 and J86) for local and branch passenger traffic on the North British Railway (NBR), Drummond found that the NBR required more. He solved this with his first NBR design, the Class R (LNER J82) 0-6-0T. As a student of William Stroudley, Drummond's new design closely followed Brighton practice and was essentially an enlarged version of the famous London Brighton South Coast (LBSC) Class A 'Terriers'. A total of three batches of twenty four locomotives were built between 1875 and 1878. All of the J82s were rebuilt with new boilers between 1908 and 1910. The new boilers were pitched 3in higher, and fitted with combination injectors. The J82s were initially allocated to suburban and local passenger services in the Glasgow and Edinburgh areas, as well as branch line workings elsewhere. The Glasgow locomotives were quickly replaced with other Drummond types.
