Locomotives in Detail 1: Bulleid 4-6-2 Merchant Navy Class: Bulleid 4-6-2 Merchant Navy Class

Although the UK’s Southern Railway ‘Merchant Navy’ class of locomotives totaled only 30 examples, it is among the most complex of any when all details are considered. For the first time, this book presents comprehensive drawings in 4mm scale for each of the three series as well as the rebuilt locomotives, together with the main external alterations applied throughout their lives to 1967. The text, supported by many photographs, takes a fresh look at the development history of the ‘Merchant Navy’ class and explains the main changes, including liveries, in detail. John Harvey has maintained a lifelong interest in steam railroads, especially the Southern. Since retirement he has undertaken extensive research into Southern locomotive history, including liveries, with the object of supporting the construction of accurate models Richard Green is a graphic designer with an interest in steam railroads and a passion for producing locomotive drawings

Question by Scott W: What Types of Engines Were Previously Used in Newfoundland Trains?
Does any one have any idea what types (diesel, steam etc.) or model #’s/types might have been used in the Newfoundland railway trains when it was operational back in the early 1900’s?

Best answer:

Answer by rdenig_male
They appear to have used initially steam locomotives and latterly some diesels. The wiki link gives a good history, the second site has some photographs. A search gave over 300,000 replies, so there may well be some sites with more details and photos.
