NSWGR 45 CLASS
LOCOMOTIVE –
PROTOTYPE OVERVIEW
With an expected
upsurge in interstate traffic following completion of the then under
construction Albury-Melbourne standard gauge, plus continuance with
the dieselisation of the locomotive fleet, the NSWGR placed an order
with A E Goodwin for forty locomotives. In June 1962 the first of
these 1800hp units, 4501, entered service.
During early
trials of the new locomotives it became apparent that the handbrake
design was not fully effective on steeply graded track and, from
4509 onwards, an improved handbrake was fitted to the class. This
design was then retrofitted to the earlier equipped locomotives.
Deliveries of the class were complete when 4540 entered service in
February 1964.
During the
remainder of the 1960s and the early 1970s the 45 class were seen on
passenger and freight working on most main lines across the
network. During 1971 the class was then allocated to Broadmeadow,
where they remained until withdrawal. Although a northern based
fleet and primarily working in the region, members of the class were
still regularly seen in other areas of the state. In June 1984 the
placing of a union ban on lead unit working of the class resulted in
the 45’s being relegated to trailing unit status. From this point
forward their area of operation was mostly confined to the northern
region and, apart from a couple of isolated occasions, in freight
only working.
Over the years a
number of external modifications have been applied across the
class. These include:
·
changes
to the design of the handbrake, as detailed above
·
improved
exhaust stacks
·
moving
the sand box filler location from the front to the side of the hood
·
replacement of the single marker lights with a dual assembly.
Further
alterations were made to a number of locomotives with the fitting of
louvered air filters on the long hood and replacement of the drop
down window behind the drivers opening cab side window with a fixed
window. During the 1980s a number of locomotives also had all the
cab side windows replaced with an aluminium framed assembly.
During 1989 six
of the class returned from overhaul with a number of enhancements to
overcome union bans. Following a brief period when the first two
units completed where classified as 451 class, all six modified
units were numbered as the 35 class.
With an in
service history spanning some 32 years, a number of liveries have
been applied to the class.

Although a
number of the class have been involved in accidents only one, 4525,
was scrapped following a head-on collision with 4462 at Roberson in
May 1972. In October 1988 the first of the class to be withdrawn
was 4530 following an electrical fire. Between 1990 and 1993 a
further seven units were stopped. During 1994 the remaining 31
members of the build were progressively withdrawn from service and
sold off. A number of units were subsequently bought at the time
and some have been restored to active service, as well as heritage
operation, by their respective buyers.
