AD60 Class Garratt 4-8-4+4-8-4

The 60 class locomotives were built by Beyer Peacock of Manchester, and delivered to NSW over the period 1952-57. They had a massive tractive effort of nearly 60,000lbs, and were regarded as the most powerful locos in the southern hemisphere. Some were modified to increase their tractive effort to 63,000lbs, and had dual controls fitted to eliminate the need for turning on large turntables.

A dedicated group of volunteers at Canberra is working to restore 6029 to steam - you can read about their efforts at their 6029 Blog Page

I thought I had a good chance when I went to Zimbabwe a few years ago but I didn't do my homework properly and didn't go to the right places. Let me know if you ever hear of one running anywhere in Oz.
