NSWGR D58 class Locomotive

NSWGR D58 class Locomotive

In 1943, approval was given for the N.S.W.G.R. Workshops to build 25 locomotives and tenders to a design modified from the D57-class. The main alterations were the use of a rack and pinion valve gear in lieu of the Gresley 2:1 conjugated vale gear for the middle cylinder and the use of smaller cylinders to enable the locomotives to run to Newcastle, a route which had a tighter loading gauge. They also used a Woodard divided drive of twin coupling rods between the second and third driving wheels. A valance was fitted over the valve gear on the front platform.

Eveleigh Workshops built 11 locomotives and Cardiff Workshops built two. 5801 was placed in traffic in March, 1950. Following the building of 13 locomotives, construction was suspended owing to lack of funds, dieselisation and also, to a degree, dissatisfaction with their performance in traffic.
