Victorian Railways H220. Known as 'Heavy Harry' it was the largest loco built to operate on Victoria state railways. There was going to be a class of 3 locos, but due to the Second World War no more were completed. For the same reason many planned upgrades to bridges and track were not carried out, so H220 never ran on all the lines it was built for. It still travelled over 800,000 miles in service. Withdrawn in 1958 and put on display in 1962.
