Summary

[edit]
Description
English: "G" 98, a G class steam locomotive built by Beyer Peacock (Manchester, England), type 4-6-2 + 2-6-4, which was in service from June 1929 to September 1937. This image is a close view showing the axle design. One of 6 of this type which were the first and only locomotives in New Zealand to have a mechanical stoker, and also the first to employ power reversing, exhaust-steam injection, and grease-lubricating driving axle-boxes. They were not successful in NZ as the Gresley conjugated valve gear gave trouble, and the mechanical stoker couldn't handle the irregular sizes of unscreened local coals, and so they had little service. In 1937 they were cut up to provide component parts for 6 "G" class "Pacifics" constructed at Hillside Railway Workshops. Because of further difficulties with these modifications they were confined to freight service on the Midland and South Lines (South Island). Withdrawn 1956. Photograph taken by Albert Percy Godber probably ca 1937. See "Register of New Zealand Railways steam locomotives, 1863-1971" by W G Lloyd.
