SAR Rx Class BG Tender

SAR Rx Class BG Tender

The SAR Rx class was a series of 84 4-6-0 'ten wheeler' locomotives built between 1886 and 1916, over a 30 year period. 15 were initially built as R class locomotives abroad by Dubs & Co and locally by James Martin but these were later converted to Rx's around 1899 with higher powered and more efficient Belpaire boilers. These were the most predominant class of broad gauge locomotive in South Australia until the introduction of the much larger Webb engines in 1926. A group of Rx's, mainly some of the rebuilt ones were withdrawn and scrapped from 1927 to 1938, however the remainder of the class served on branch lines, shunting and light goods work until the mid to late 60's. Today, 10 Rx class locomotives still survive in preservation, including 5 plinthed in parks/playgrounds, 3 statically preserved and two in operational condition which are currently owned by SteamRanger Heritage Railway. This Trainz model represents how the class appeared in the 1950's and 60's, towards the end of steam operations in South Australia.
