Prototype Notes -------------------- Between 1877 and 1881, sixty eight 4-4-0 passenger engines were built by Beyer Peacock, Dubs and Atlas Engineering - originally 79 class, then C class, they became Z12 class in 1924. They were originally used on main passenger and mail trains until displaced by new C32 class 4-6-0 locomotives - the Z12's were then relegated to inland country branchline workings on passenger, mixed, goods and stock trains. In 1896-97 twenty were converted into Z13 class 4-4-2 tank locomotives. From 1899 till 1911 the remaining tender locos were rebuilt with Belpaire boilers, steel cabs with porthole windows and left-hand drive. In their later years they were displaced as newly converted C30T locos took over their former duties. 1219 worked in NSWGR service until 1962 when it passed to the RTM as a static exhibit - 1210 worked the vintage train during its last few years in service with NSWGR, before being plinthed at Canberra station from 1962 until 1984 - it has subsequently been restored for working heritage trains - 1243 worked in NSWGR service until 1958, then it passed to the RTM for service on the Vintage Train.
