Preserved steam locomotives of New South Wales explained

While there are many surviving examples of several locomotive classes, some are in a very poor condition, including partly dismantled or badly corroded locomotives, the technical condition of which cannot really be accurately conveyed in their descriptions.

New South Wales X10 class locomotives in preservation are fully listed
