Victorian Railways 0-6-0T No. Z 526

Posted by: Robin R Beck on Jan 7, 2019 @ 13:01:56
An archive photo in the album section shows this loco, when in use as a breakdown crane. It had a six wheel tender so it could attend accident sites under its own power. The tender meant it could stay on site until the job was finished without having to return to refuel.

When first preserved this loco was exhibited with a 4 wheel tender. When POLLY was converted to its original tank engine design this 1878 built tender was not needed. It is now part of the North Williamstown museum collection where it is on display attached to VR number 2 crane tank loco

Victorian Railways 0-6-0CT No. 2

Posted by: Robin R Beck on Jan 7, 2019 @ 13:01:14
When locomotives were beyond repair and scrapped, their tenders often had a second life. One such tender is exhibited behind number 2 locomotive. Locomotives like crane tank locos had a limited range, normally just working around a steam shed or railway works and filling up with water & coal when required. If it had to attend an accident site or do permanent way mainline work an old tender would be coupled up, allowing it to work for days without refuelling. This converted tender has wooden buffers, and toolbox between the running wheels. It started life in 1878, built by Phoenix Foundry, Ballarat. In 1877 the Victoria Railway ordered 8 mainline 4-4-0 locomotives. Which became their (1st) H class. They were the last VR class built with 4 wheel tenders. Superseded by the DD class, all H class were scrapped by 1911. All, that is, except one sold to Trawalla & Waterloo Tramway S.A. which lasted till the 1920s. The 140 year old tender is one of the oldest exhibits at this excellent but crowded museum. Always worth a visit.

I live near this engine and can get additional pictures of it.

If I remember correctly, this locomotive was buried underground, and was discovered by accident when they were digging. Certainly an interesting tale. While I am kinda sad the locomotive was in the condition it was in, it is nice that the locomotive is now on display for all to see. (Note to Moderator: please ignore the previous note. I submitted it by accident. Thank You! -Jonah.)
