Designed by William Reid, 'Glen Douglas' is a typical Scottish express passenger locomotive from the early years of the 20th century. The 'Glen' class locomotives were particularly associated with the West Highland line from Glasgow to Fort William and Mallaig, but they worked all over the NBR system at one time or another. They were popular, successful and versatile locomotives.
