Locomotive Profile – NSW 59 Class presents a complete photographic record of the 59 class 2-8-2 “Mikado” steam locomotives built by Baldwin Locomotive Works for the New South Wales Government Railways. These robust locomotives were designed for heavy freight and branch line work, serving as an essential component of NSW’s steam era rail operations.

The volume features 56 pages of full-colour photography, capturing the 59 class in action across mainline and rural routes, highlighting their operational versatility, distinctive design, and contribution to the efficiency of New South Wales rail transport. This profile is a valuable reference for steam enthusiasts, NSW railway historians, modellers, and collectors of Australian railway publications.
