Kevin Murray	General	Nice! Was Northern a class in Australia too? ALCO used it for 4-8-4 in US too.	11/3/2020 9:10:07 PM

Mikey Puttock	General	Hi Kevin, I'm not a steam loco nut but I can say that the "Northern" type locomotive wheel arangement wasn't found in great numbers in Australia. the SAR 500 class and 520 class were "Northern" type along with H1 of the Victorian Railways. They only built 1 because of war time restrictions in WWII.	11/7/2020 10:12:43 AM
