Description:
Recast locomotive builders plate, 'Baldwin - Lima - Hamilton - Corp. Philadelphia. Pa., U.S.A.' plate numbered 75571 and stamp dated (August) 1952. Locomotive 5908 was built by the Baldwin Lima-Hamilton Corporation in 1952 as works number 75571. It was one of a class of 20 imported oil-fired locomotives ordered to ease the critical shortage of motive power after the Second World War. Following a later than expected delivery time, due to difficulties supplying a customised short tender, the class entered service on the Nswgr in late 1952, 19 x 37 cm. We sold a larger size original plate from this loco in our Norm De Pomeroy auction for $575.00
