The Y class was the most numerous class running on South Australian railways,129 being built from 1885 to 1898 by UK & Australian firms. A similar design was found on other Australian railways. 58 Y class were rebuilt with larger boilers becoming Yx class.

Y82 in service 1888 and withdrawn in 1960. Displayed at a playground in Peterborough. 2000 was moved to Steamtown museum and cosmetically restored. Now on display under a weatherproof shelter opposite the mainline station in Peterborough. Now the station has only one or two Indian - Pacific passengers trains in each direction that call there each week depending on the seasonal traffic of that train.

Another version of Beyer Peacock's standard design which can be seen in various forms around the world - particularly those Commonwealth countries with connections with the UK. Common features are the leading pony truck and the inclined outside cylinders. Looks like its been presented to a high standard.
