Sorry if I wasn't clear, I was using the terms type/class
interchangably to refer to a particular model by a particular builder,
that model being the Vulcan/Drewry and later TGR built 0-6-0DM with
Gardner 8L3 engine that became the TGR's V and later VA class, that
same type or model being also used by Mt Lyell, Emu Bay Railway, and
maybe the SECWA(?).

Hope that's clear now!
