New South Wales Railways 30T Class 4-6-0 Profile is a photographic profile documenting the NSW 30T-class 4-6-0 tender locomotives, focusing on their operations during the latter part of their careers. This volume provides a detailed visual record of these much-loved branch-line engines, capturing both their work in service and their characteristic design features.
The 30T Class locomotives were introduced to handle a variety of duties on branch lines and light mainline services, where their 4-6-0 wheel arrangement provided a balance of traction and speed suitable for freight and passenger work. Known for their reliability and versatility, the 30T-class became a familiar sight across New South Wales railways, particularly during the mid-20th century as they adapted to evolving operational needs.
Presented in a 48-page, full-colour format, this profile is an essential reference for NSW railway historians, steam enthusiasts, modellers, and Australian rail book collectors, providing insight into the final years of the 30T-class in service.
