RSH Loco Booklet part 1 of 3 - history & mainline steam locos

Front cover of a 1950s booklet containing some history & products of RSH

The booklet is likely to have been produced in the mid 1950s, & given to employees
such as Mr. FG Wade of Darlington, father in law of the visitor to TR who donated it

The A3 is Bayardo

Vic Gascoigne may have come across these 3'6" gauge locos while on National Service in Kenya

Ask Richard about SAR 3'6" gauge locos

A very short-lived class - all scrapped by the early 1960s.

This loco is especially for Tommy!

I saw a number of this class on the metre gauge in southern India in 1984.
The class were built in the early 1950s, many of them in Japan.

The ten M class 3'6" gauge locos were built at Darlington in the mid 1950s.
M2 was brought to Marley Hill in the 1980s; the other nine remain in Tasmania.

All 10 M class locos wait for shipment to Tasmania.
They were built at Darlington, hence shipment from the Tees rather than Tyne.
