Informations supplémentaires

The driving wheels of V1220 2-8-2, the largest steam locomotives to work in Western Australia. Now on display at the Railway Museum in Bassendean. V 1220 was built in 1955 by Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn Ltd. The V-class proved to be very capable and successful locomotives and lasted to the very end of Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) steam traction. The majority of the class were withdrawn in June 1971, although V 1208 / 1218 / 1219 and 1220 lasted until August 1972. Photos from that period show long lines of withdrawn S, W and V-class locomotives awaiting scrapping at Midland Workshops. V 1220 was saved and joined the collection at The Railway Museum, Bassendean in December 1972.
