Caledonian Railway 600 Nos. 605 and 606

Caledonian Railway 600s Nos. 605 and 606 worked around Ayr, Killmarnoch and Port Patrick for a while before being transferred to Esthwaite. When the opportunity to purchase them came up, the harbour master jumped at the chance to have two 4F 0-8-0s for the heavy goods traffic over the line, complimenting the Super D stabled there.

As the harbour line was preparing to shut down, the engines were sold to Mr. Phoenix. 605 was found to be in top form, and able to be run while 606 was sent for overhaul, as she needed it. 605 had been given an overhaul with what money the old manager scraped together. He served his time well, hauling stone and heavier passenger trains over the Middleton Branch Line before being given aide in the form of two Robinson O4s.

605 spends his time pulling the line's stone train-the Granite or the odd passenger train while 606 spends his time hauling general goods or the odd DiDo train.Often times, 606 will venture to Spennymoor or Eldon, for the odd loads needed for either station, bridge or rail repairs. The only other notable event was when 606 had taken a version of 1T57 from Darlington to Durham in remembrance of the end of steam traction.
