Re: WAGR Tank Engines

[Chris French <cfrench@starwon.com.au>]

Yes the Ut was indeed an austere looking loco, but hardly 'ugly' in my opinion
- more 'distinctive'.

Anyway, other tank locos (incomplete list) were:
Class    W/Arrangement
N         4-4-4T
D         4-6-4T
Dd       4-6-4T
Dm      4-6-4T
Ds       4-6-4T
H         0-6-0T
K         2-8-4T
Ut        4-6-2T

Photos of most (if not all) of these locos can be found in the two volumes of
"70 years of Rail and Wire in W. A." by the late Jack Stanbridge.

Regards,
Chris. French.
