Locomotives

Class 12. The 4-4-0 steam locomotive built in 1878 by Beyer, Peacock and Co. of Manchester, England, as an express passenger locomotive - as is evident from its 5ft 6in (167 cm) diameter driving wheels, and speeds of 50 mph (80 km/h). 68 in class.

Class 25 initially the B205 class, a 2-6-0 Mogul wheel arrangement with 70 being built by Beyer Peacock & Co all being delivered by 1885 .They were fitted with a leading pony truck, which improved overall riding generally and speeds of 30 mph. (50km/h). They were slowly withdrawn the last in 1962.

Introduced in 1877 first as Class 93 then as Class 19. The 0-6-0 were a development from earlier long-boiler types by Beyer Peacock & Co. They comprised as one of the main classes of goods engines for the NSW Railways. With their light axle loading of 13 ton 12 cwt and slow maximum speed of 25 miles per hour, they were then used on more steeply graded and lightly laid branch lines. There were 77 in the class.

Class 30T 4-6-0 tank locomotives were designed for heavy grades. The first 95 locomotives were built by Beyer Peacock and Co, UK, and in service in 1903-17. Eveleigh Workshops in Sydney built a further 50. The Class 30T were converted to a 4-6-0 engine with tender in 1930. For the Tumut Branch Line 6 wheeled tenders were used to fit on the 50ft turntables.

CPH rail motors were self-propelled passenger and freight-carrying rail cars and began service in 1923 and were in use to the 1980s. Their acceleration, speed and twin driving cabins meant they became effective operating units. They were initially petrol driven but converted to diesel powered with torque converter. 37 were built.

Class 48. They were designed to operate on the secondary lines across the state for freight and passenger services to outlying areas and the first was built in April 1959 by A. E. Goodwin Ltd.
It has an in-line 6 cylinder four stroke engine of 900 h.p. And was the most numerous diesel locomotive model in Australia.

Class 49. 18 General Motors Electromotive Division hood type locomotives were supplied by Clyde Engineering Co. and the first was delivered in 1960
The engine is a G M V-8 two stroke with supercharger of 875 hp. They could be found on all lines from the South West up to the North West areas of the state.

Class 600/700 railcars were built at the old Department of Aircraft factory and used aircraft construction techniques, the first in service was in 1949.
They were fitted with 2 G.M. diesels and had passenger accommodation of 32.
