NZR Y class
The New Zealand Railways Y class was a class of three 0-6-0T tank locomotives. Built by the Hunslet Engine Company for the Public Works Department in 1923, all three were sold to NZR between 1938 and 1945.〔http://www.trainweb.org/nzsteam/y_class.html〕 ==NZR service== The three Y class locomotives were sold by the PWD to NZR in two batches, NO 543 being purchased in October 1938 and NOs 542 and 544 in August 1945. Originally they were allocated to the Way and Works Branch for construction work, but later saw some use by the Mechanical Branch as shunting engines for hire to private industries whose own engines were under repair. The three engines were transferred to the Mechanical Branch in 1951 and received the class letter 'Y' in 1952.〔Palmer & Stewart, p. 108 (1965).〕 During their service life with the NZR, the locomotives retained their original PWD numbers. In 1949, NO 544 was loaned to the Whakatane Board Mills for use on their Matahina Tramway while their two ex-NZR FA class locomotives were overhauled. This was the most notable use of one of these engines while on loan from NZR to a private industry. While in NZR service, the Y class locomotives tended to be based out of the Auckland locomotive depot and were used for shunting purposes there.
