The Highland Railway P class was a group of five 4-4-0 tank steam locomotives built in 1891 and 1893 by Dübs and Company of Glasgow. ==History== In 1891 Dübs and Company of Glasgow completed two 4-4-0 side tank locomotives. They were part of an order for five for the Uruguay Eastern Railway, but due to financial problems the order was cancelled and the engines were offered for sale. The locomotives were purchased by the Highland Railway in 1892, where they were numbered 101 and 102. Although their cowcatchers and large headlights were removed before entering service, they retained a somewhat American appearance quite unlike other HR designs of the period, lacking the classic Allan framing and sweep of plating from the widest part of the smokebox to the cylinders. Perhaps inevitably, they were nicknamed ''Yankees'', although the official designation from 1901 was 'P' Class. Three further locomotives were delivered by Dübs in 1893, possibly comprising the balance of the Uruguay order. These had standard Highland Railway fittings but were otherwise identical to the first two. They were originally numbered 11, 14 and 15, but were renumbered 51, 50 and 52 in 1899–1900, and 50 was again renumbered to 54 in 1901.
