Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class 600 PS-D branch lines (Locobase 15521)
Data from [
], last accessed 23 October 2013.
Information accompanying the image and data table from the Linke-Hoffmann collection at SMU's digitalcollections site shows this design to have offered useful power in heavy industry settings as well as on local branch line freight service.,
Certainly, this was a large eight-coupled tank engine with a breadloaf casing over the steam and sand domes. It was fitted with a feed water heater
