NZR FA class
🇳🇿 New Zealand ·built by Addington Railway Workshops· class of 20 New Zealand 0-6-0T locomotives rebuilt from F class
what is it?
The NZR FA class was a class of tank steam locomotives that was built as a larger version of the NZR F class 0-6-0T. The requirements were for larger water and coal capacity on a locomotive that could handle grades better than the F class. Due to costs involved in producing new machines, NZR chose to rebuild existing machines with larger coal and water capacity, larger boiler and firebox, higher boiler pressure and larger diameter pistons. Seven F class engines were rebuilt between 1892 and 1897.
