NBL 4-8-2 Locomotives for New Zealand (1939)

[rogerfarnworth]

Towards the end of March 2024, I stumbled across a number of journals of the New Zealand Model Railway Guild. One of these, the March 2021 edition, included a pictorial article about J1211 North British 4-8-2 Locomotive No. 24534 of 1939.

40 No. 4-8-2 locomotives which were built in 1939 by the North British Locomotive Company became the New Zealand Railways (NZR) J class.

That J Class looks too much like PRR's S1.

Hi Bret,

Where might I find a photo of the PRR's S1?

Best wishes
