H 6

Plinthed in the town of Perth, Tasmania

 

Anthony Winstone has provided this view of H6 (less tender) plinthed at Perth on 23 February 2007.

H2 and H6 were the first TGR steam locos in the TGR red livery, which they acquired in 1956 for working the 2nd. Division Western Line Fast Mixed. (59)

H6 is today preserved in a part at Perth (south of Launceston) wearing the TGR red livery, but is without a tender.

This rear view of tenderless H6 on 23 February 2007 is kindly provided by Anthony Winstone.  I am unaware of any spare surviving H-class tenders; perhaps a reader can advise what happened to H6's tender, or if any others survive.
