The T class was a class of diesel locomotives built by Tulloch Limited, Rhodes for the Western Australian Government Railways between 1967 and 1970.
The first five members of the class were fitted with two 250-1NaN-1 traction motors connected in parallel to a Brush 550-1NaN-1 main generator. Two further batches of five followed; these locomotives, designated as the TA class, had uprated 600-1NaN-1 main generators.[1] [2] [3]
The first was built by Tulloch Limited with the remainder sent to Western Australia in parts and assembled locally.[1] UGL Rail use TA1813 as their shunter at Bassendean.[4]
