About the original

Description

A class of ten locomotives, which entered service in 1885. Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works for passenger service, they had 60.5" driving wheels and 18" x 26" cylinders. The original Baldwin specifications are available from: http://digitalcollections.smu.edu/cdm/ref/collection/rwy/id/32

As the locomotive has seen some use the image may not date to 1885, but is unlikely to be much later than that.

This is the design the L436 "Scotch Yankees" were based on (see https://livinghistories.newcastle.edu.au/nodes/view/88371 for details).

This image was scanned from an original glass plate or negative, kindly provided by the Australian Railway Historical Society, New South Wales Division.
