South Australian Railways 0-6-0 Locomotives in Australia
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class J - rebuilt (Locobase 5679)
Data from Douglas Colquhoun's entries presented in the Australian national railway museum site: [
] (visited 14 October 2003).
These freight locomotives were originally delivered in 1875 (works numbers 1422-1423). They were rebuilt in the year shown and that's the version Colquhoun's data reflects. #32 was condemned in April 1923, but 33 operated for another 11 years.
Class Kitson goods motors (Locobase 5677)
Data from Douglas Colquhoun's entries presented in the Australian national railway museum site: [] (visited 14 October 2003). Works numbers were 142-143.
Small freight locomotives from a well-known Glasgow builder early in its career. Although quite modest in power, they still proved satisfactory enough to last 38 years, being condemned on 11 July 1923.
