The first loco on your page looks like a 60 class. First used in 1874. 6
in the class. Used in passenger work. The class was later renamed "O"
class. They were scrapped in 1904.

The second is a B class, later the 24 class. First in service in 1891
for goods traffic. NSW RTM has 2419 and Dorrigo has 2414 (?). 25 in the
class.

The third is the E 17 originally the 17 class. First used 1865. 23 in
the class.
RTM has no 18 which was the 2nd of the 17 class.

This info came from "A compendium of New South Wales steam locomotives"
Compiled by Alex Grunbach (ARHS NSW DIV).

I obtained the book from the RTM. Price $43.95
