Summary
| Description |
English: Victoria Railways 5'3" gauge W M Shannon 'C' Class main line freight 2-8-0 No.C10, built by VR Newport in 1922, withdrawn 1961, at the Victoria Railway Museum, North Williamstown, 2 April 2016. VR Newport built 25 in 1918-26 and they were at that time the largest and most powerful locos in Australia. The 'C's' could haul prodigious loads. However, they were difficult to fire, sluggish and prone to run short of steam. Consequently, they were rebuilt with a 'Modified Front End' by E Brownbill which resulted in a far more free running engine, to the extent that they were used on passenger and troop trains in WWII. However, their long grates still needed careful firing. All were converted to oil firing (with a new tender) in 1946 and from 1947 fitted with German Witte smoke deflectors. 1 was temporarily converted to burn pulverised coal in 1923 but this was not a success. They were withdrawn in 1954-62. |
