The Midland workshops built 10 locomotives for the Perth Suburban passenger services. They became the Dd class. Displaced in 1954 with arrival of diesel railcars. Then only did peak hour passenger trains and Perth local freights. By 1968 with more railcars they were only used on freight. 592 worked from 1946 until 1971. Restored at Midland workshops in 1985 for the Bicentennial celebrations. Used on specials until 1995. In 1999 moved into Bassendean railway museum.
