Australian Railway History
Above:
Several ex New South Wales Railways (B) 205 (Z25) Class locomotives ended up in private hands. One such locomotive was 2553 of the Caledonian Collieries Ltd. seen at the Waratah Colliery, stored in its coat of ‘Kill Rust Red’ following the closure of the colliery in December 1961. 2553 is an example of the later-style, with steel cab. In the following pages, Leon Oberg describes two locomotives ‘copied’ from this design, that were made for a UK railway.
