History

In September 1877, a Select Committee recommended no more locomotives be built in the colony. However some materials had already been purchased for proposed new locomotives. In 1884/85 these were put to use to build four 2-4-2T locomotives at North Ipswich Railway Workshops. Per Queensland Railway's classification system they were designated the 4D10 class in 1890, the 4 representing the number of driving wheels, the D that it was a tank locomotive, and the 10 the cylinder diameter in inches. [2] A further four A10 Neilson class were converted to 4D10s. [3]

Garratt Steam locomotive type that is articulated into three parts to negotiate curves that might restrict large rigid-framed locomotives

A Garratt is a type of steam locomotive invented by British engineer Herbert William Garratt that is articulated into three parts. Its boiler, firebox and cab are mounted on a centre frame or "bridge". The two other parts, one at each end, have a pivot to support the central frame; they consist of a steam engine unit – with driving wheels, trailing wheels, valve gear and cylinders – and, above it, fuel and/or water storage.

Queensland Pioneer Steam Railway Railway museum

The Queensland Pioneer Steam Railway is located near Ipswich, Queensland, Australia and running through the former West Moreton pioneering coal fields. First opened in 1881 by colliery proprietor and politician Lewis Thomas (1832-1913) as a tramway to his coal mines. The right-of way later taken over extended to take in over 20 mines before reaching to its present termini at Swanbank Loop by Queensland Railways where it served the Swanbank Power Stations. The branch remains the oldest continuously operating branchline in Queensland. Since 1978 Queensland Pioneer Steam Railway has operated passenger trains on this branch line using heritage rollingstock.
