Victorian Railways B Class, B72, in the line-up of locos “in steam” at the Newport Railway Workshops Open Day 2026. B72 is in relatively short lived “teacup” livery (1981-5) with the stylised VR forming the teacup. The B class were the Victorian pioneer diesels, built between 1951 and 1953 by Clyde Engineering. The S Class was a development of the B Class, which was a development of the EMD F-units using a three axle (Co-Co) bogies rather the EMD 2 axle (B-B).
B72 was withdrawn in 1986 following a fire, after travelling over 3.3m miles. An extensive restoration saw her eventually move under her own power in 2023.
