Belgrave [Victoria]
The 2'6' 'Puffing Billy Railway' runs from Belgrave to Gembrook, 15 miles away. The bulk of the work is done by 6 NA Class Prairie tanks, but they also have G42, a 2-6-0 - 0-6-2 Garratt, built by Beyer Peacock Ltd. in Manchester, in 1926. The latter is shown here exiting the shed yard at Belgrave on 13 October 2008. Interesting to compare the tractive effort of this beast - 27,630 lb, with a Clan Pacific - 27,520 lb.
