C32 Class 4-6-0 Ten Wheelers

Widely known as the "P" class (due to their classification in the pre-1924 system) by enginemen and railfan alike, the 32 class were highly regarded locomotives. Designed by William Thow, the class were used on lighter express passenger trains right up until the end of steam hauled passenger services. Indeed, 3246 was still running the Singleton-Newcastle service in 1971. (Thanks to Darren Yates for this this snippet.)
