Kitson & Co. locomotives for Victorian Railways

[alexl92]

I understand that in the early 1900s the Victorian Railways’ Railway Commissioner commissioned Kitson & Co. of Leeds to design 5 standard types of steam locomotive.

I’m interested to know more about these engines, and I’d love to see some photos. Does anyone know where I can find some info on these? Wikipedia made a reference to them but included no links.

Thanks!

Try the book refered to in footnote 3 of the Wikipedia article.

Try also typing into google "kitson locomotive in australia" and selecting images.

The Wikipedia Article I was on was about the VR D1 class so no references to the Kitson locos.
Will try, thanks

In that case try the wiki article that comes up in the same Google query I mentioned.
