Caledonian Railway 300 Class
# Caledonian Railway 300 Class

The Caledonian Railway 300 Class were freight 0-6-0 tender engines introduced in 1918 and designed by William Pickersgill. Forty-three were built between 1918 and 1920. They were numbered 294–324, 280, 281, 670–679 by the Caledonian Railway.

## Ownership changes

In 1923, they all passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, and were classified 3F, and renumbered 17650–17692. On nationalisation in 1948, the twenty-three survivors passed into British Railways stock, and were renumbered by adding 40000 to their LMS numbers.

## Numbering table

| CR nos. | Quantity | LMS nos. | BR nos. (Note 1) |
| - | - | - | - |
| 294-324 | 31 | 17650-17680 | 57650-57680 |

### Note 1

Not all the BR numbers were actually applied because some engines had been withdrawn before 1948. They were withdrawn between 1934 and 1963, and all were scrapped.
