Hello John,

That's a very interesting resource. The "(Australia)" in the annotation is a mistake. Order No.6245 was, as you say, for B/Nos 2249 and 2250. Both of these were for the NSB (Norwegian State Railways), No.2249 being named "Gere" and 2250 "Freke". Two locomotives of this type (but with cabs and stacks different to that in the drawing) were supplied to Australia to The Jarrahdale Jarrah Forests & Railways Ltd. They were B/No.2158 of 1882, and B/No.3120 of 1889, and named "Samson" and "Samson No.2". The first of this type of locomotive was built for Norway in 1866, and the type - which was very successful - inspired the 2-6-0 tender locos widely used in South Austtralia, Western Australia, Tasmania, Cape Province, and probably other places. Regards, Frank
