Recently at The Great Southern Steam Up held in Emerald in Victoria, Argyle Loco Works showed their newest Locomotive the "NA" Class 2-6-2 Tank Engine
The Victorian Railways (Australia) 'NA' class 2-6-2
tank locomotives were built to serve the 4 narrow
gauge 2' 6" (762 mm) gauge branch lines in that state.
Baldwin Locomotive Works in the United States
supplied the first two 2-6-2 tank locomotives in 1898 as
well as parts for a further two locos. The Victorian
Railways Newport workshops assembled the parts to
give an additional two locos, and subsequently built a
further 13 locomotives. The last one, number 17, was
built in 1915. 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 6A, 7A, 8A, 12A, and 14A have been restored and operate on the 'Puffing Billy' Steam Railway

No. 3A is also preserved awaiting restoration. The other 11 locomotives have
all been scrapped.
