The [[Highland Railway]]'s '''Clan Goods class''' was a class of [[steam locomotive]].  They were designed by [[Christopher Cumming]]. The first four (Nos 75 to 78) were built by [[Hawthorn Leslie and Company]] on Tyneside, and the maker's plates bore the date 1917, but because of wartime delays were not delivered until 1918.{{sfn|Cormack|Stevenson|1990|pp=117, 128}} Four more (Nos. 79 to 82) were built in 1919, also by Hawthorn Leslie.{{sfn|Cormack|Stevenson|1990|pp=119, 128}}

==Dimensions==
They featured two Robinson type {{convert|20+1/2|by|26|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} cylinders outside (with long tail-rods), {{convert|5|ft|3|in|m|1|abbr=on}} driving wheel and a boiler set at {{convert|175|lbf/in2|MPa|abbr=on}}. Locomotive weight was {{long ton|56|9}}.

==Transfer to LMS==
All eight entered service with the [[London, Midland and Scottish Railway]] (LMS) in January 1923. They were classified '5F' by the LMS.

==Transfer to BR==
Six locomotives survived to enter [[British Railways]] (BR) service in 1948, of which five were given BR numbers.{{sfn|Cormack|Stevenson|1990|p=120}}
