English: No 98, a G class steam locomotive originally built by Beyer Peacock (Manchester, England), type 4-6-2 + 2-6-4, which was in service from June 1929 to September 1937. One of 3 imported, this type of locomotive was the first and only one in New Zealand to have a mechanical stoker, and also the first to employ power reversing, exhaust-steam injection, and grease-lubricating driving axle-boxes. The locomotives were not successful in NZ as the Gresley conjugated valve gear gave trouble, and the mechanical stoker couldn't handle the irregular sizes of unscreened local coals, and so they had little service. In 1937 they were cut up to provide component parts for 6 "G" class "Pacifics" constructed at Hillside Railway Workshops. Because of further difficulties with these modifications they were confined to freight service on the Midland and South Lines (South Island). Withdrawn 1956. Photograph taken by Albert Percy Godber, probably ca 1928, after arrival from England and during assembly. See "When steam was king" by W W Stewart and "Register of New Zealand Railways steam locomotives, 1863-1971" by W G Lloyd. |
