The Queensland Railways 4D10 class locomotive was a class of
2-4-2T
steam locomotives operated by the
Queensland Railways.
History
In September 1877, a Select Committee recommended no more locomotives be built in the
colony. However some materials had already been purchased for proposed new locomotives. In 1884/85 these were put to use to build four
2-4-2T locomotives at
North Ipswich Railway Workshops. Per
Queensland Railway's
classification system they were designated the 4D10 class in 1890, the 4 representing the number of
driving wheels, the D that it was a
tank locomotive, and the 10 the
cylinder diameter in inches.
[2] A further four
A10 Neilson class were converted to 4D10s.
