History and use
After the Second World War, Queensland Railways were required to outsource maintenance work on their aging steam fleet. So high was the demand, that locomotives were sent to Clyde in New South Wales for repair. This builder's plate is from replacement boiler produced by Clyde for a Queensland Railways locomotive.
