| 説明 | Notes: In front is No. 1243, 4-4-0, Z12 Class express passenger locomotive, now part of The Powerhouse Museum collection. Behind it is No. 1219 still at the Thirlmere Rail Transport Museum in unrestored condition. Both were fitted with an extended smoke box after a few years use in the 'Vintage Train' service, to improve circulation in the smoke box and reduce ash build-up.The Z12 Class (formerly the C79 and C80 class) was the first class of locomotive on the New South Wales Government Railways to be built in relatively large numbers. The original C79/80 class took over the working of all through passenger and mail trains for some 20 years after introduction.A total of 68 were built. The first batch of 30 were built by Beyer, Peacock and Company of Manchester and placed in service as the 79-class between 1877 and 1879. They were the first locomotives to be imported with Westinghouse continuous air-brakes already fitted. The second batch of 26 came from Dübs and Company of Glasgow. These arrived between 1880 and 1881. A further four followed from Beyer, Peacock in 1881. To assist local industry, a contract for 8 was given to the Atlas Engineering Works situated in Sydney's Haymarket and these were delivered in 1881–1882. The improved Z class entered service in 1924 and three representatives remain to this day, including 1243 seen here which was restored at the Thirlmere Rail Museum.www.nswrtm.org/index.htmlen.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_South_Wales_Z12_class_locomotive Format: Kodak Ektachrome 35mm transparencyLicensing: Attribution, share alike, creative commonsRepository: Blue Mountains City Library - library.bmcc.nsw.gov.au/Part of: Local Studies CollectionDate Range: May 1963Provenance: Jim Anderson |
