Hi

Was the class leader. Is it still though ?

830 and 845 were retained by the STA, far later than the other 830s. 830 was 
renumbered 875 in 1986 when it went to Tasmania, shortly after getting the 
corporate livery and a double-skinned cab roof. It did a couple of runs 
around Adelaide on work trains as 830 in the corporate livery and new roof.  
Not sure where the renumbering occurred exactly, but 875 and 852 were  the 
last Tasrail 830s, working log trains on the ricketty-bridged Derwent Valley 
line until 1992.  875 was sent to Pt Lincoln (Nov 92) then went back to 
Adelaide (May 1994)- emerging as DA5 sometime in 1995. 830/875 has had an 
interesting life.

the class was named in honour of the first loco - thus
> > locomotive 830 is the class leader of the 830 class.
