Description
Clyde Engineering were asked in February 1936 to quote on the supply of 6 locomotives the same as the New South Wales Railways C 36 with a tender modelled on the NSW D 57. They suggested each locomotive would cost around £17,000, so it was decided that full tenders would have to be called. The tender occurred in June 1936 for the construction of 8 locomotives, with "Walkers Ltd" of Queensland given the best quote at £130,320 for a locomotive with a four wheel tender. The cost of locomotives with larger six wheel tenders carrying 17.5 tons of coal and 12,000 gallons of water would cost £142,500. After length discussions approval was obtained to purchase the larger tendered model
