Caledonian Railway 264 Class No. 270

Caledonian Railway 264 No. 264 was the usual pilot for Dumfries before being transferred to Esthwaite, before being purchased and sold, like the other Caledonian Engines that started the Phoenix Fleet. The pug had been a blue flag after arrival, due to the engine running on a boiler 18 years out of ticket. The engine got a new boiler almost immediately and returning to service as a pilot for Middleton-in-Teesdale quarry. The pug got a reputation in the quarry for having quite the bark and being responsive to crew inputs. The men saved several small tenders the class ran with and paired her with an ex-CR tender for extra coal capacity.

Unlike the other engines she came with and work around, she's lived a life of quiet isolation, shunting around Middleton-in-Teesdale yards and quarry. The engine stayed in it's BR Livery, but that still draws the crowds.
