New South Wales Government Railways 0-6-0ST No. 128

Posted by: Robin R Beck on Mar 5, 2018 @ 15:03:45
NSWGR 128 One of 3 locos from Vulcan Foundry for NSWGR. All three worked on Richmond to Camden line, Sydney. In 1897 No 128 was renumbered to 530 and in 1901 moved to Yass Tramway, working there until 1910. In 1915 it was sold after working over 400,000 miles in NSWGR ownership. It was bought by the Commonwealth Government for work at Jervis Bay. In 1932 it was sold again, purchased by Cessnock Colliery. Laid up by 1938. Later the boiler and saddle tank were scrapped. Later still motion parts were removed, these may still exist. In 1983 the remains were moved to Richmond Vale Railway Museum.

In 1992 moved to Yass Railway Museum. The boiler from class mate 129 was found. Having been used at a sawmill. This was obtained and mounted on 128.

The Yass Tramway was a 3 mile branch line. The mainline railway by passed the town of Yass so a line was built from the mainline station Yass Junction to Yass Town. Opening in 1892 the branch line had two platformed stations and 7 halts where passengers could board or leave the train, hence called a Tramway. In its time it was a very busy branch line, NSWGR locos operated the line. The branch no longer exists, only Yass Town station which is the railway museum. The Museum is open on Sundays.

Posted by: Steve Frost on Mar 1, 2018 @ 15:03:51
And I thought Chaparrall (with only one letter l) was a type of scrub vegetation found in California, and 'High Chaparral' was a TV programme. You live and learn. Oh yes, and I am fairly sure that DR didn't go in for cow catchers on their locos.

The loco hauled coal wagons from the railway main line to coal bunkers for the boilers.

In 1985 it was restored to working order at Thirlmere, then was stored at the Powerhouse Museum workshop and storage facility at Castle Hill, located in the Sydney suburbs. The castle Hill facility was expanded and the public allowed in occasionally. A further upgrade allowed exhibition halls to be opened. Now called the Discovery Centre, it is open Monday to Friday and a large selection of exhibits are on view. I was told that if you really want to view an item not on display, as long as it is not in their workshops, they will endeavour to allow you access.
