The Tasmanian Government Railways B class was a class of steam locomotives operated by the Tasmanian Government Railways.
Between 1884 and 1892, the Tasmanian Government Railways took delivery of 15 B class locomotives from Beyer, Peacock & Co, Manchester. With the arrival of the Q class in 1936, five were retired. The remaining ten were withdrawn in the early 1950s following the arrival of the X class.[1] [2]
