Anyone know?

  This was the first of this class built at Eveleigh. 3801 - 3805, the streamlined ones, were built by Clyde Engineering first then Eveleigh built 13 even numbered locos and Cardiff Workshops at Newcastle built 12 odd numbered locos for a total of 30.

  Great old photo. Such atmosphere!

• Mike Kelly said:

  These locos were a wonderful feat of engineering, what a pity that we can't "make stuff" any more.

  From there by steamship to Singapore and then . . .

• asiager said:

  It arrived in Singapore in 1911 and worked on the Singapore Government Railway between Pasir Panjang and Woodlands. The FMSR took over the working of the line in 1912 and purchased it outright a few years later, the locomotive then having their number 130 in their B class. In 1923 the Singapore line became connected to the Malayan mainland following the building of the Johore Causeway and the locomotive became surplus to requirements and was sold to Malayan Collieries at Batu Arang as their No 1 in May 1923. The mine was severely damaged during the Japanese occupation and closed in 1960 when everything was abandoned and much of the mining area became flooded.

  If I had the time and resources it would be fun to build a G scale model of this critter.

  Interesting that fireman's side rail, the one nearest to viewer, ends under pilot beam and footboard.
