The Highland Railway L class, also known as ‘Skye Bogies’ due to their association with the Kyle of Lochalsh Line. They were essentially mixed traffic versions of the earlier Duke or F class.
Nine were built at Lochgorm Works over the period 1882 to 1901. They were never named.
The 18x cylinders, valve gear and motion were common to the two classes, but they had smaller 5feet driving wheels and higher pressure 150-1NaN-1 boilers.
