1082 X10 0-4-0CT Robert Stephenson & Hawthorns 7542 of 1950 Stored Powerhouse Museum - Castle Hill Discovery Centre 1082 and 1083 were the final orders of a series of 0-4-0 crane tank locomotives ordered by the NSWGR following from 1030 back in 1879.  These small steam crane locomotives actually outlasted mainline steam by nearly a decade, with 1082 and 1083 pottering around Eveleigh workshops until withdrawn in the early 1980's.
1083 X10 0-4-0CT Robert Stephenson & Hawthorns 7543 of 1950 Plinthed Advanced Technology Park, Eveleigh 1082 and 1083 were the final orders of a series of 0-4-0 crane tank locomotives ordered by the NSWGR following from 1030 back in 1879.  These small steam crane locomotives actually outlasted mainline steam by nearly a decade, with 1082 and 1083 pottering around Eveleigh workshops until withdrawn in the early 1980's.
1210 Z12 4-4-0 Beyer Peacock 1767 of 1878 Operational ARHS Canberra 1210 was the first locomotive to work into Canberra, in 1913, and had been plinthed at Canberra station since 1962.  1210 was but retrieved in 1984 for restoration in Canberra, and returned to operation in 1988. (1) This photo shows 1210 and 2705 double-heading a photographers' special freight train at the NSWRTM Festival of Steam on 6 March 2004.
1219 Z12 4-4-0 Dubs 1270 of 1880 Stored Broadmeadow roundhouse 1219 features an extended smokebox fitted by the NSW railways to improve steaming.  1219 was withdrawn 1962, transferred to Thirlmere in 1974, and shunted onto the long term storage sidings at Thirlmere in 1983 where it is seen in this photograph of 17 January 2004.  It was shunted into a covered storage siding in late 2004.  A spare Z12 / Z13 boiler (tab 1214) is also stored at Thirlmere, together with several spare 6-wheel tenders.  Sister loco 1243 was an operational loco at the NSWRTM during the 70's and early 80's, and hopefully 1219 will one day be restored to operation in its place. (1)  Update: 1219 has been moved from Thirlmere to storage at Broadmeadow Loco.  1219 was subsequently allocated to the Junee Roundhouse Museum but has not yet moved from Broadmeadow.
1243 Z12 4-4-0 Atlas Engineering 2 of 1882 Display Powerhouse Museum 1243 was withdrawn in 1958 but used for Vintage trains thereafter.  1243 had been an operational exhibit at the NSWRTM Thirlmere during the 70's and early 80's, as seen in this 1981 photo showing 1243 at Thirlmere in its final NSWGR form with extended smokebox and P6 tender.  During the late 1980's it was restored to original condition with short smokebox and low-side tender, and placed on displayed as a static exhibit in the Power House Museum, as seen in this photo of 13 February 2005.
1301 Z13 4-4-2T Beyer Peacock 1624 of 1877 Display Trainworks (formerly NSWRTM), Thirlmere 1301 is beautifully presented at the NSWRTM; refer to the 1301 page for more information.
1307 Z13 4-4-2T Beyer Peacock 1637 of 1877 Static Yass Railway Museum 1307 had been in storage at the NSWRTM for many years, but has now been repainted for display at the Yass Railway Museum; refer to the 1307 page.

1709 Z17 4-4-0 Vulcan Foundry 1172 of 1887 Operational Trainworks (formerly NSWRTM), Thirlmere 1709 was restored to operation in 1994 for use in celebrations for the 140 years of NSW railways in 1995.  It was later displayed at the NSWRTM, stored in operational condition.  1709 was reactivated for the 150 years celebrations in 2005.  Jason Smid has kindly provided this atmospheric photo of 1709 simmering in the workshop at the NSWRTM on 3 September 2005.  Here is a 1994 photo of mine which shows 1709 riding the turntable at the NSWRTM.
1803 Z18 0-6-0T Vulcan Foundry 994 of 1884 Display

(for special events only)

 Trainworks (formerly NSWRTM), Thirlmere This locomotive began life running Sydney suburban passenger trains.  It has now been statically restored as Thomas the Tank Engine; refer to the 1803 page for further information.
1804 Refer to 1076 above
1904 Z19 0-6-0 Beyer Peacock & Co 1646 of 1877 Stored DSR&M Dorrigo One of 77 examples of the A-93 class freight locomotives, a development of the earlier E-17 class Stephenson 'long-boiler' design (refer E18 above) and originally a main-line freight locomotive. The Z-19 class were later used as branch-line locomotives, particularly on the steep and lightly-laid 'pioneer' lines to Oberon, Dorrigo, Tumut & Batlow, and as yard-shunting locomotives at Darling Harbour. 1904 was retired in 1972. This photo shows 1904 at Dorrigo on 24 January 2004, stored in black oil for weatherproofing.
1905 Z19 0-6-0 Beyer Peacock & Co 1647 of 1877 Display Trainworks (formerly NSWRTM), Thirlmere This locomotive has been expertly restored by volunteers for static display at the NSWRTM; refer to the 1905 page for further information.
1919 Z19 0-6-0 Beyer Peacock & Co 1761 of 1878 Operational Glenreagh Mountain Railway 1919 has had an interesting and varied preservation career.  She was one of the last steam locomotives in NSWGR service when finally retired from shunting duties (after some periods of storage) around 1972/3. 1919 was initially preserved for the Lachlan Vintage Village at Forbes, being plinthed as the gatekeeper in 1979 and later painted a gaudy sky blue livery with silver dome and chimney. It was acquired by the Dorrigo Steam Railway and Museum at the auction of LVV assets in November 1986 and road hauled to Dorrigo.  1919 later passed to the Glenreagh Mountain Railway and was transferred to Glenreagh for restoration in 2000, where restoration to operation was completed in July 2004. The GMR website includes a history of 1919 with many historical and restoration photos.  1919 regularly worked the Glenreagh - Dorrigo line during the 1950's and its return to service on this line is an excellent outcome for the GMR. This photo (and view 2, view 3) shows 1919 approaching Tallawudjah Creek on the GMR in January 2007.  Here is a much earlier photograph (dated approximately 1972) showing 1919 on a tour train at Liverpool.

1923 Z19 0-6-0 Beyer Peacock & Co 1890 of 1879 Stored DSR&M Dorrigo This photo is courtesy of Mark Newton and shows 1923 at Dorrigo in 1999, stored in black oil for weatherproofing.
2029 Z20 2-6-4T NSW Government Railways 28 of 1911 Display Trainworks (formerly NSWRTM), Thirlmere 2029 is the last survivor of the Z-20 class, which were a tank-engine version of the Z-19 class.   A thorough static restoration of this locomotive was completed by NSWRTM volunteers during the 1980's and 90's, resulting in a very high standard of presentation and authenticity.  The magnificently restored 2029 is now a prime exhibit in the display hall at Trainworks, Thirlmere.
2408 Z24 2-6-0 Dubs & Co. 2631 of 1891 Stored DSR&M Dorrigo The B55-class locomotives (later renamed the Z24 class) comprised 25 locomotives built by Dubs & Co of Scotland.  Originally main-line freight locos, they eventually gravitated to secondary lines, and then shunting roles.  Many were sold to private users including collieries and sand & gravel quarries.  In 1964 loco 2408 was sold by the NSWGR to the Electricity Commission of NSW, who employed the engine for shunting the Bunnerong Powerhouse, Port Botany and where it became No.7, keeping company with sisters 2413, 2414 and 2423.  The locomotive was later donated to the DSR&M, where it is now stored in black oil for weatherproofing, as seen in this photo of 24 January 2004.  Here is a second photo kindly provided by Anthony Winstone which shows 2408 at Dorrigo on 24 September 2005.  (I had incorrectly listed this loco as sister 2414 until March 2007.)
2413 Z24 2-6-0 Dubs & Co. 2635 of 1891 Display Junee Roundhouse Museum 2413 was last used by the Bunnerong powerhouse as their No.6, from 1961 to 1975. (26) Upon retirement it was donated to the ARHS Canberra, where it was displayed as shown in this photo of 1992. (1) 2413 was subsequently towed by rail to the Junee Roundhouse Museum in 24 & 25 May 2002 for static display at the Roundhouse Museum. (26)
2414 Z24 2-6-0 Dubs & Co. 2636 of 1891 Stored DSR&M Dorrigo 2414 was acquired secondhand from the NSWGR in 1959 by the Electricity Commission of NSW for use shunting the Bunnerong Powerhouse, Port Botany where it became No.5.   The locomotive was stopped in 1967 and became a parts donor for sister 2408, until the remains were donated to the DSR&M in 1975.  2414 is now stored at Dorrigo and painted in black oil for weatherproofing, as seen in this photograph of 24 January 2004.  2414 is missing its tender (a spare 24-class tender is stored at the NSWRTM Thirlmere), cab, and the pony truck (although the swing arm remains, and the DSR&M recovered a suitable wheelset from scrap at Chullora).  Accordingly the major components not available are the cab (a relatively simple sheet metal fabrication) and the pony truck axlebox.  (I had incorrectly listed this loco as sister 2408 until March 2007.)
2419 Z24 2-6-0 Dubs & Co. 2641 of 1891 Display Goulburn Roundhouse 2419 remained with the NSWGR for its entire working life.  Upon preservation it was restored to near-original appearance using a round-top boiler salvaged from scrapped 2604 in place of the later Belpaire boiler, and displayed with its original number B 390.  In 1985 this locomotive was transferred to Goulburn for display within the Goulburn Roundhouse.
2510 Z25 2-6-0 Beyer Peacock & Co. 2082 of 1881 Display Trainworks (formerly NSWRTM), Thirlmere The Z25 class comprised 75 locomotives intended for main line freight use, but later demoted to secondary lines and shunting duties as larger locomotives were introduced.  2510 has been fully restored to static display condition by a group of volunteers at the NSWRTM, and displayed in lined black livery as seen in this photo (courtesy of Mark Newton) which shows 2510 in the display hall at the NSWRTM, Thirlmere in 1992.
2535 Z25 2-6-0 Beyer Peacock & Co 2322 of 1884 Stored DSR&M Dorrigo 2535 was sold by the NSWGR to AIS and was later plinthed by the company at Coniston. Unfortunately when being placed on the plinth the lifting chains were poorly placed under the locomotive, resulting in buckled running boards.  2535 was becoming derelict at Coniston and was under threat of scrapping until acquired by the DSR&M.  It was transferred to Rhondda Colliery for storage from the mid-1970's to the mid 1980's, when it was moved by road to Dorrigo.  This photo of 24 January 2004 shows 2535 (sans tender) stored at Dorrigo (the tender is also stored nearby) and the buckled running boards can clearly be seen.
2605 Z26 2-6-2ST Dubs & Co. 2794 of 1891 Display State Mine Heritage Park & Museum, Lithgow The twenty members of the I(17) class were essentially a saddle-tank version of the B(55) class 2-6-0 tender locomotives and intended for banking duties over steep grades such as the Great Western Railway (Blue Mountains line).  2605 survived into preservation after being sold into industrial service at the Portland Cement Company.  It lasted in service at their Portland cement works until as late as 1983.
2606 Z26 2-6-2ST Dubs & Co. 2795 of 1891 Stored Broadmeadow roundhouse 2606 had been displayed at the NSWRTM in until approximately 2010 when it was towed to Broadmeadow roundhouse for covered storage.  Unfortunately  2606 is no longer on public display as it was moved to Broadmeadow roundhouse for undercover storage as a result of the project to upgrade the NSWRTM Thirlmere museum to the "Trainworks" museum.
2705 Z27 2-6-0 Hunslet 1115 of 1913 Operational Trainworks (formerly NSWRTM), Thirlmere 2705 is the last survivor of the Z-27 class moguls, which were originally purchased by the Department of Public Works for construction duties.  The class was rebuilt by the NSWGR with Z-25 class boilers.  2705 was displayed as a static exhibit at the NSWRTM Thirlmere until restored to operation in the mid-1990's.  2705 is now the regular locomotive on the Thirlmere-Buxton tourist trains, and wears attractive lined green livery.  The boiler was recently swapped with a spare (tab 2531) during overhaul.  This photo shows 2705 at Hawkesbury River in about 1994.
3001T C30T 4-6-0 Beyer Peacock & Co 4444 of 1903 Display Trainworks (formerly NSWRTM), Thirlmere 3001T was built as a 4-6-4T but converted to 4-6-0 after electrification of the Sydney suburban lines, and used on country branches.  It has a superheated boiler.  3001T was restored to operation by the NSWRTM during the early 1980's but was withdrawn in approximately 1997 due to deteriorating mechanical condition, and is now displayed in lined black livery as a static exhibit at Thirlmere. This 1995 photograph shows 3001T running around its train on the NSWRTM 'Loop Line' at Buxton station.
3013 C30 4-6-4T Beyer Peacock & Co 4456 of 1903 Dismantled ARHS Canberra 3013 survived into preservation following sale to a colliery operation; refer to the  3013 page for further details.
3016T C30T 4-6-0 Beyer Peacock & Co 4459 of 1903 Operational ARHS Canberra 3016T was originally built as a 4-6-4T for Sydney suburban train running.  Following electrification of the Sydney suburban railways, it was rebuilt to a 4-6-0 configuration for use on country branch lines.  It has a superheated boiler.  3016T was restored to operation by the ARHS Canberra and operated on tourist trains through the late 1980's and 1990's, wearing an attractive lined Prussian Blue livery.  3016T was dismantled for overhaul during 2003 and transferred to the NSWRTM Thirlmere for contract overhaul in late 2004.  At completion of its overhaul, 3016T began running-in duties at the NSWRTM Steam Extravaganza in September 2006 prior to a number of mainline tours and transfer back to Canberra. (1) This photo is  courtesy of Shaun Barker and shows 3016T on the turntable at Queanbeyan, NSW in 1994.
3026T C30T 4-6-0 Beyer Peacock & Co 4469 of 1903 Display Lachlan Valley Railway 3026T was originally built as a 4-6-4T for Sydney suburban train running, and was numbered S 661.  Following electrification of the Sydney suburban railways, it was rebuilt to a 4-6-0 configuration for use on country branch lines.  3026T retains a saturated boiler. 3026T was operational at the LVR during the 1970's but is currently displayed in the semi-roundhouse at Cowra awaiting overhaul.  This photo is kindly provided by Chris Stratton and shows 3026T and 4204 hauling a LVR tour train at Westville on 25 September 1993.
3028T C30T 4-6-0 Beyer Peacock & Co 4471 of 1904 Stored DSR&M Dorrigo 3028T was originally built as a 4-6-4T for Sydney suburban train operations.  Following electrification of the Sydney suburban railways, it was rebuilt to a 4-6-0 tender configuration for use on country branch lines.  3028T operated the re-opening train to Dorrigo in 1986 (with 5069) and is now stored in black-oil in Dorrigo station yard.
3046 C30 4-6-4T Beyer Peacock & Co 5140 of 1908 Stored DSR&M Dorrigo This photo (courtesy of Mark Newton) shows 3046 at Dorrigo in 1999, stored in the station yard and coated with black oil for weatherproofing.
3075T C30T 4-6-0 NSW Government Railways 42 of 1912 Plinthed Parkes 3075T is plinthed in Parkes in central western NSW; refer to the 3075T page for further photos and information.
3085 C30 4-6-4T NSW Government Railways 52 of 1912 Display Goulburn Roundhouse 3085 was the last C-30 tank locomotive in service with the NSWGR when withdrawn in 1972. It was relocated from NSWRTM Thirlmere to Goulburn Roundhouse on 27 November 2009, where it remains awaiting restoration.
3090T C30T 4-6-0 NSW Government Railways 57 of 1912 Stored DSR&M Dorrigo 3090T was originally built as a 4-6-4T for Sydney suburban train running.  Following electrification of the Sydney suburban railways, it was rebuilt to a 4-6-0 configuration for use on country branch lines.  This photo is courtesy of Mark Newton and shows 3090T at Dorrigo in 1999, stored in black oil for weatherproofing.
3102T C30T 4-6-0 Beyer Peacock & Co 5797 of 1912 Stored ARHS Canberra 3102T was originally built as a 4-6-4T for Sydney suburban train running. Following electrification of the Sydney suburban railways, it was rebuilt to a 4-6-0 configuration for use on country branch lines.  It retains a saturated boiler.  3102T had been maintained operational by the ARHS Canberra during the 1970's and 80's, and together with 3001T hauled the last train on the Crookwell branch line in 1985.  3102T was withdrawn from operation by the ARHS Canberra in August 1987 (with 3016T being returned to operation in its place) and has since been stored awaiting overhaul, as seen in this photo of 29 June 2003.  3102T occasionally donates boiler tubes to operational loco 1210. (1) 
3112 C30 4-6-4T Beyer Peacock & Co 5807 of 1914 Stored Operational Canberra 3112 is privately owned and is normally housed at the old Eveleigh "Large Erecting Shop" together with 3801 and 3830. This photo of 3 March 2002 shows 3112 departing Thirlmere station with a tourist train on the NSWRTM 'Loop Line'.  Update August 2010: 3112 has changed private owners and is now located at Canberra where it is stored in a private siding. Although nominally operational, it apparently is not currently in use.
3137 C30 4-6-4T NSW Government Railways 134 of 1917 Display Trainworks (formerly NSWRTM), Thirlmere 3137 had been a stalwart of the NSWRTM operating fleet during the 1970's and 80's and regularly hauled the Museum's "Loop Line" train between Picton, Thirlmere and Buxton.  It is now an exhibit in the Trainworks museum.
3203 C32 4-6-0 Beyer Peacock & Co 3402 of 1891 Stored Broadmeadow roundhouse 3203 had been preserved operational at the NSWRTM in 1970's but was retired due to deteriorating boiler condition and is now a static exhibit.  This 1973 photo is courtesy of John Hurst and shows 3203 climbing the Blue Mountains, near Mt Victoria.  UPDATE:  3203 was transferred to Broadmeadow Roundhouse for storage during the upgrade of the the NSWRTM Thirlmere site to become "Trainworks".
3214 C32 4-6-0 Beyer Peacock & Co 3413 of 1892 Display Valley Heights Locomotive Depot Heritage Museum 3214 was preserved operational at the NSWRTM until withdrawn in 1982 due to boiler condition. 3214 had operated in an attractive maroon livery in the late 1970's, but has since been repainted into black livery and is now a static exhibit at the NSWRTM as seen in this photograph of 17 March 2003. (1)  UPDATE: 3214 has moved to the Valley Heights Locomotive Depot Heritage Museum.  My visit of 28 August 2010 found 3214 receiving cosmetic repainting and restoration for static display.
3237 C32 4-6-0 Beyer Peacock & Co 3436 of 1892 Operational Lachlan Valley Railway This loco was originally P 508 but became 3237 in the NSWGR 1924 renumbering scheme.  3237 was based at Cowra during part of its working life, and therefore has found a fitting home in preservation at the Cowra semi-roundhouse.  3237 had been dismantled since the 1980's under a protracted overhaul which included a new front tube-plate. The overhaul was completed with 3237's return to steam in mid-2005. (1)  This photograph is kindly provided by Scott Mitchell and shows 3237 in steam at Cowra on 3 October 2005.
3265 C32 4-6-0 Beyer Peacock & Co 4221 of 1901 Operational NSWRTM for the Powerhouse Museum 3265 has been extensively overhauled at Eveleigh by the Powerhouse Museum.  Refer to the 3265 page for further photos and information.
3526 C35 4-6-0 NSW Government Railways 118 of 1917 Operational Trainworks (formerly NSWRTM), Thirlmere 3526 was transferred in steam to the NSWRTM in 1974 but was subsequently relegated to static display.  In 1983 the boiler clothing was removed for assessment of the boiler, and in 1990 restoration to operation began in earnest.  Completion was achieved in early 2004 after a government grant for new boiler tubes.  (In approximately 1990 a spare 35-class boiler -tab 3514 -was also retrieved from static use at the old Eveleigh workshops and is now stored at the NSWRTM.)  This photo shows 3526 at Thirlmere station during the NSWRTM Festival of Steam on 6 March 2005.
3609 C36 4-6-0 NSW Government Railways 156 of 1928 Display Trainworks (formerly NSWRTM), Thirlmere 3609 is displayed at the NSWRTM in lined black livery.  Several spare C36 boilers are also available at the NSWRTM, including boilers tab 3605 and 3534, together with a spare 36-class tender (tab 3617) which was obtained as late as approximately 1988.
3616 C36 4-6-0 Clyde Engineering 400 of 1927 Display Trainworks (formerly NSWRTM), Thirlmere 3616 is unique as the only Australian steam loco fitted with a Giesl ejector, in which form it is preserved at the NSWRTM.  3616 had been statically displayed in lined green livery at the NSWRTM during the 1970's but had become faded and rust-streaked by 1988 when it was repainted in unlined black. Photography within the display hall at the NSWRTM is difficult but I was able to capture this photo of 6 March 2005.  (The Giesl ejector is partially obscured by a weather cover, and the connecting rods have been removed.)  Here is a further photo showing the tender builder's plate.
3642 C36 4-6-0 Clyde Engineering 376 of 1926 Operational Trainworks (formerly NSWRTM), Thirlmere 3642 received a heavy overhaul at Goulburn loco depot in approximately 1981 and was operable at the NSWRTM until the late 1990's.  Since then 3642 has been displayed at the NSWRTM while awaiting funding for a tone-up overhaul. UPDATE:  Funding for overhaul was announced in 2006 and restoration got underway during 2007, including the swap of old boiler 3646B for one f the spare 36-class boilers at Thirlmere. (1)  This photo is kindly provided by Jason Smid and shows 3642 displayed at Central Station for the 150 years of NSW railways celebrations on 24 September 2005.  Here is an earlier photo of mine which shows 3642 and 4201 at the NSWRTM gala weekend on a rainy March 1994 day.  Funding for an overhaul of 3642 was recently announced and overhaul at the NSWRTM was due to commence in October 2006.  UPDATE: 3642 was re-launched to traffic on 1 March 2008.
3801 C38 4-6-2 Clyde Engineering 463 of 1943 Under overhaul Chullora workshops 3801 is Australia's most famous locomotive and has been in railtour duty for many years; refer to the 3801 page for further photos and information.
3813 C38 4-6-2 NSW Government Railways 165 of 1946 Stored, dismantled DSR&M Dorrigo 3813 has an interesting operational history and a rather tragic preservation career, so I have prepared a separate 3813 page to tell the story.
3820 C38 4-6-2 NSW Government Railways 172 of 1947 Display Trainworks (formerly NSWRTM), Thirlmere 3820's last journey under steam was to deliver several exhibits to the from Enfield to Thirlmere in 1974, on a temporary boiler certificate.  3820 is now displayed at Thirlmere in lined black livery.
3830 C38 4-6-2 NSW Government Railways 182 of 1949 Workshop Trainworks, Thirlmere for the Powerhouse Museum 3830 was reserved for the Powerhouse Museum upon withdrawal by the NSWGR and was stored at the NSWRTM until approximately 1988 when it was towed to the Eveleigh workshops for restoration to operation.  Returned to service in 1997, 3830 is now housed at the NSWRTM Thirlmere.
5069 D50 2-8-0 Beyer Peacock & Co 4374 of 1902 Stored DSR&M Dorrigo 5069 is a saturated-steam locomotive, largely unmodified during its working life. 5069 is now preserved by the DSR&M and worked the re-opening train to Dorrigo (with 3028) in 1986. (1) This photo is courtesy of John Hurst; date: 1973. Caption: '5069 shunts in the rain at Waterfall.'
5096 D50 2-8-0 Clyde Engineering 1 of 1907 Stored Broadmeadow roundhouse 5096 is a saturated-steam locomotive, largely unmodified during its working life.  5096 was the first locomotive built by Clyde Engineering, Granville, NSW, and apparently selected for preservation on this basis. 5096 had been displayed in 'as withdrawn' condition at the NSWRTM until the early 1980's, when the boiler clothing was removed in order to prevent boiler decay. Some repainting was done in 1991 but 5096 is now  stored away from public view (awaiting static restoration) in the workshop area, as seen in this photograph of 17 March 2003. (1)  Update: 5096 has been moved from Thirlmere to storage at Broadmeadow Loco.  5096 was subsequently allocated to the Junee Roundhouse Museum but has not yet moved from Broadmeadow.
5112 D50 2-8-0 Beyer Peacock & Co 5054 of 1908 Display Bathurst 5112 is known as the former Prime Minister Ben Chifley's engine, relating to the period when he was a locomotive driver in the Bathurst area.  5112 is displayed at Bathurst station following a comprehensive static restoration.
5132 D50 2-8-0 Beyer Peacock & Co 5074 of 1909 Stored DSR&M Dorrigo 5132 is the only preserved example of a superheated D50 class locomotive. This photo (courtesy of Mark Newton) shows 5132 at Dorrigo in 1999, stored in black oil for weatherproofing.
5353 D53 2-8-0 NSW Government Railways 80 of 1913 Stored DSR&M Dorrigo This photo (courtesy of Mark Newton) shows 5353 at Dorrigo in 1999, stored in black oil for weatherproofing.
5367 D53 2-8-0 Clyde Engineering 122 of 1914 Display Lachlan Valley Railway Originally numbered TF 985 but renumbered to 5367 in the NSWGR 1924 renumbering scheme.  5367 was overhauled during 1995 as is preserved operational in the semi-roundhouse at Cowra, where it is also known as 'Rosie'.  This detail photograph was taken at Cowra in 1996. (1)  Update: 5367 is no longer operational
5461 D53 2-8-0 Clyde Engineering 210 of 1916 Static Valley Heights Locomotive Depot Heritage Museum 5461 was an operational exhibit at the NSWRTM during the 1970's and until 1985.  It was transferred to Valley Heights (where apparently it had been allocated at one stage in its life) in 1996, coupled to a Wampu tender (ex-5595.) (1)  This 1981 photo shows 5461 receiving a new roof in the yard at NSWRTM in 1981.  UPDATE: 5461's old boiler lagging was removed by specialist contractors at Valley Heights during 2008.  The boiler clothing has since been replaced and the locomotive has received a quality cosmetic restoration by the volunteers at Valley Heights.
5595 D55 2-8-0 Clyde Engineering 334 of 1924 Static Trainworks (formerly NSWRTM), Thirlmere 5595 is the sole survivor of 120 examples of the D-55 class.  5595 had been somewhat derelict when transferred to the NSWRTM in 1974, but was fully restored as a static exhibit during the late 1990's. This photo shows 5595 on display at the NSWRTM on 6 March 2005.

 5711 is one of the most significant preserved steam locomotives in Australia.  It is slowly being statically restored at Valley Heights; refer to the 5711 page.
58-class D58 4-8-2 NSWGR Eveleigh & Cardiff Workshops Components only Trainworks (formerly NSWRTM), Thirlmere The D-58 class was designed as an improved version of the earlier D-57 class, featuring 3 cylinders but using rack-and-pinion valve timing instead of Gresley conjugating valve gear.  Today only a few components survive, but they make interesting artifacts showing aspects of steam locomotive construction.
5908 D59 2-8-2 Baldwin Lima Hamilton 75571 of 1952 Display Goulburn Roundhouse 5908 (together with 5916) remains in largely original oil-burning configuration. 5908 apparently survived during the early 1970's as a stationary boiler, and had been displayed at the NSWRTM in 'as received' condition until 1991 when it received a cosmetic repaint into basic black livery.  5908 has occasionally donated parts to its operable sister 5910. (1) This photo of 6 March 2005 shows 5908 at the NSWRTM Thirlmere; the green tint is due to green skylights in the roof above.  5908's old boiler lagging was removed by specialist contractors during 2008.  UPDATE:  5908, 5916 & 3085 were relocated from NSWRTM Thirlmere to Goulburn Roundhouse on 27 November 2009.
5910 D59 2-8-2 Baldwin Lima Hamilton 75573 of 1952 Display Trainworks (formerly NSWRTM), Thirlmere 5910 was originally built as an oil burner, but later converted to coal firing by the NSWGR.  5910 received a comprehensive overhaul at the NSWRTM from 1981 to 1985, and was extensively used by the NSWRTM as a railtour locomotive until approx 1998 when it was withdrawn due to needed tone-up repairs.  It is now on view in the display hall at the NSWRTM. A spare 59-class boiler is also stored at Thirlmere, and various parts have been borrowed from sisters 5908 and 5916 over the years to keep 5910 running. (1)
5916 D59 2-8-2 Baldwin Lima Hamilton 75579 of 1952 Stored Goulburn Roundhouse 5916 survived into preservation following a period of use as a stationary boiler; refer to the 5916 page for further information.

 (on loan to 3801 Ltd from Lachlan Valley Railway)

 5917 was originally built as an oil burner, but later converted to coal firing.  5917 was withdrawn by the NSWGR in August 1972 and subsequently preserved by the LVR.  5917 was operational during the 1980's but ran with a smaller 53-class turret tender by the late 1980's as its original tender required a new tank.  Both loco and original tender underwent extensive overhaul at the LVR Cowra during the 1990's. UPDATE:  5917 and original tender were restored to operation at Cowra by September 2007.  (1) This photo is kindly provided by Chris Stratton and shows 5917 (with 53-class tender) and 5367 hauling an LVR tour train near Holmwood on 13 April 1986.  5917 wore a green livery during the 1980's as seen in this photograph; this livery is attractive but not authentic as 59-class locos wore black livery on the NSWGR. (1)  UPDATE: 5917 has been moved to Eveleigh and is currently on loan to 3801Ltd.  As at August 2010 this locomotive is apparently withdrawn from traffic pending some boiler remediation.
5920 D59 2-8-2 Baldwin Lima Hamilton 75583 of 1953 Stored DSR&M Dorrigo 5920 was originally built as an oil burner, but later converted to coal firing by the NSWGR.  5920 is stored at Dorrigo by the DSR&M, coated in black oil for weatherproofing.
