Stalwart of the fleet, rarely out of service, the second of the company's 1905 locomotives was named after company director, Dalrymple Maitland, and is fondly remembered by several generations of enthusiasts as the longest-serving fleet member. Having been in regular service since delivery, a re-boilering in 1959 ensured her future well into the final years of company operation, through the Ailsa years and into nationalisation
 
No. 11 Maitland is currently withdrawn from service and undergoing long-term re-build
