BHP Newcastle 37 class

[1] The first 15 locos were swapped between the narrow and standard gauge networks by changing the bogies and couplers.

However, by the mid-1960s, problems were experienced in working wide standard gauge rolling stock such as the Treadwell hot metal cars.

The next 2 locos were delivered in 1977 (55 and 56) and were fitted with Cummins NT855 turbocharged engines, the latter built to narrow gauge specifications.

Later many of these were repowered with Cummins NT855 turbocharged engines, those locos which weren't re-engined were either scrapped or sold.
