One of the PM class fitted with roller bearings on all coupled wheels becoming WAGR PMR class. In service from 1950 to 1972. Now an exhibit in the Northam Old Railway Station.

The Old Railway Station Museum. The railway station opened in 1884 and closed 1966 when the new Standard Gauge was laid from Kalgoolie to Perth. In places it took a new alignment. Northam was an example. The 42 inch gauge railway ran through town. The new Standard gauge route by passed the centre and required a new station. The impressive old station became a folk museum.
