ISBN: 1876249765
Train Hobby Publications Australia Studfield, Victoria, Australia 2003 First Edition
Soft Cover 48 pages profusely illustrated colour photos - The C35 class (originally NN) was a class of steam locomotives operated by the New South Wales Government Railways in Australia. They were built with the 4-6-0 wheel arrangement at the NSWGR Eveleigh Workshops from 1914 to 1918. A total of 35 were made. All were fitted with superheaters and with exhaust steam injectors when built. Originally the class had a somewhat English-looking appearance. However, they suffered a long period of teething troubles and were rather poor performers, especially on long climbs. They took over hauling The Fish, from Sydney's Central to Mount Victoria in June, 1918 and the Caves Express on the same route in 1932. To mark this, 3506, 3526 and 3535 were painted in Caledonian Blue to match the new carriages made for the express. 3508 was experimentally fitted with an ACFI feedwater heater in May, 1935. It was apparently not a success as it was removed in 1939 and no other member was so fitted. From December, 1937, the class was rebuilt with heavier frames, rebalanced driving wheels and given new cabs with more shelter, replacing their "Great Western Railway" look. During the last years of service, they were confined to working trains north of Gosford. The last members of the class were withdrawn in July, 1968. New/No Jacket

Victorian Railways Narrow Gauge NA Class - A Photographic Profile - Early 1950s -1961
Sargent, John & Badaway, Emile D. & Crow, Lindsay
ISBN: 1876249366
Train Hobby Publications Australia Studfield, Victoria, Australia 2000 First Edition
Soft Cover 48 pages profusely illustrated colour photos - The Victorian Railways NA class was a 2-6-2 tank locomotive built for their 2' 6" (762 mm) gauge branch lines. Baldwin Locomotive Works in the United States supplied the first two 2-6-2 tank locomotives, as well as parts for a further two locos. One each of the supplied locos and the parts kits was a simple loco, and the other a compound. The new class was classed "A" - often referred to early on as "Narrow-gauge A class" - however confusion with the broad gauge A, AA and A2 classes lead to the prefix "N" being applied to written records, making it the NA class. The Victorian Railways Newport workshops assembled the parts to give an additional two locos, and subsequently built a further 13 of the simple cylinder version. The last one, number 17, was built in 1915. By the mid 1920s these small locomotives were not able to handle the increasing traffic, and two G class Garratt locomotives were purchased to supplement the fleet. The locomotives weigh 36 tons (36.58 t) and produce a tractive effort of 12,170 lbf (54.1 kN), allowing them to haul loads of 90 tons (91.44 t) up grades of 1 in 30. Numbers 6, 7, 8, 12, and 14 have been restored and operate on the Puffing Billy Railway, and No. 3 is also on the Puffing Billy Railway, awaiting eventual restoration. The remaining locomotives have all been scrapped. New/No Jacket
