IN MY OPINION ROBERT URIE IS ONE OF BRITAIN�S UNDER-APPRECIATED LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS OF HIS ERA. DRUMMOND HAD PRODUCED MANY FINE 4-4-0 DESIGNS FOR THE NORTH BRITISH CALEDONIAN AND LSW RAILWAYS BUT LIKE SO MANY OF HIS LATE VICTORIAN/EDWARDIAN CONTEMPORARIES WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THAT SUCCESS WHEN THE NEED FOR LARGE MODERN EFFICIENT 4-6-0�S AROSE.
