is one of 8 A-class express passenger locomotives and had been selected by

C1
is the first of 27 original members of this class supplied by Beyer Peacock
and Co. for goods train working; a 28th class member was later acquired
second-hand. This Beyer Peacock design found buyers in many Australian
states; similar locos include the SAR Y-class and the WAGR G-class locos.
Some members of the TGR C-class were modified and rebuilt to the CC and CCS
classes. C1 is displayed as a static exhibit at the excellent West Coast
Pioneers Memorial Museum at Zeehan. |

The Australian Standard Garratt

response to the urgent wartime need for powerful locomotives for the nations
3' 6" gauge railways. While none survive in Tasmania, an interesting remnant
can be found at the Derwent Valley Railway's New Norfolk depot in the form of
an ASG boiler which had been
adopted for static industrial use. |

M1

‘M’ class members to ‘MA’ class. Both the M & H classes had roller
bearings on all axles and throughout the motion, the only Australian classes
to be completely fitted out with roller bearings. M1 was plinthed at Ross in
1971. It was subsequently acquired by the Derwent Valley Railway and moved to

M2

inevitably deteriorated in the salty air. M2 became available for removal in
the late 1990's but apparently there wasn't much local interest in the
locomotive due to its poor condition. M2 was sold for preservation at the
Tanfield Steam Railway, UK as an example of locomotives constructed in the

The G-class locomotives were
originally built to 0-4-2T configuration by Sharp Stewart, Glasgow for
Tasmanian Government Railway use on the North East Dundas Tramway from Zeehan
to Williamsford. G1 and G2 were later sold into the Queensland sugar industry
at the Central Isis Sugar Mill, where they were converted to tender
locomotives numbered 9 and 10, also known as 'Tassie A' and 'Tassie B'. The
two locos apparently passed into private ownership / preservation, but Tassie A was reported as last
seen at Childers around 1984 and is presumed to have been scrapped. |
