The Highland Railway K class were the only class of 0-6-0 tender locomotives built for the Highland Railway. They were introduced in 1900, to the design of Peter Drummond. The class were known as 'Barneys'. They were fairly standard for British practice of the time, inside cylinders with 5 ft 0 in (1.524 m) diameter driving wheels and a general Drummond family appearance. All passed into London Midland and Scottish Railway ownership in 1923. The first was withdrawn in 1936. Seven survived into British Railways ownership in 1948. The last was withdrawn in 1952.
