Description du livre Soft cover. Etat : Good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. 1st Edition. 230 Pages with Black/White Photos. When the new Chief Commissioner, E.M.G. Eddy, took up duty in 1888, he was anxious to have additional locomotives manufactured within the Colony and the Government sought the formation of a manufacturing company in N.S.W. by interested parties. When this failed, designs were prepared preparatory to calling tenders in England. Beyer, Peacock and Company was finally selected to provide the new locomotives. Thus was born the P(6)-class (post 1924, the C32-class) 4-6-0 locomotives, one of the system's most outstanding classes. The first batch of 50 locomotives were delivered by Beyer, Peacock between February, 1892 and July, 1893. The became known as the Manchester Engines. These were originally fitted with 6-wheel tenders. Whilst the builders had not built locomotives of such heavy weight, they were an immediate success, with far fewer and far less serious teething troubles than most classes when they first entered service.
