My local railway historical society here in Canberra has finally started
restoring to running order the massive Beyer Garratt articulated steam
locomotive 6029.When in NSWGR service, this 4-8-4 + 4-8-4 giant weighed 265
tonnes (including 18 tonnes of coal and 40 tonnes of water) and had a
tractive effort of 63,000 lbs (280kN) - equivalent to about 3,000 horse
power.
The Society have put some pictures on their web site of the work so far.
