The Highland Railway Ben Class were small 4-4-0 passenger steam locomotives, made up of two groups usually called the Small Bens and the Large Bens. Peter Drummond designed them, and the first eight Small Bens were built by Dübs and Company of Glasgow in 1898 and 1899, followed by nine from the railway's own Lochgorm works. The North British Locomotive Company of Glasgow built three more Small Bens in 1906 and, from 1908, the larger version, four examples at first and two more the next year. All passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923, the Large Bens were withdrawn between 1932 and 1937, and none was preserved.
