The Caledonian Railway built two 0-4-0 saddle tank locomotive classes for use as works shunters in the area around Glasgow. Several were produced in the late 1800s and the early 1900s, with many finding their way to different sites across the country, some working as far south as Crewe. These hard working locos were often paired with homemade tenders to improve their small coal capacity. All of the 264 and 611 classes were scrapped by the end of 1964.
