V.R In Steam (C Class)

A video on the ins and outs on one of Victoria's Mainline goods engine, the Victorian C class.
(acquiring images of the C class was very difficult, so if they are any images which have been used twice, that is probably the reason)

In many ways the C class was more successful than its successor. The small boiler cost a lot less to make and to maintain. It was adequate for short bursts of high power but couldn't sustain the power. After all the grate was only the size of the J class but on a much larger engine. However the extra boiler capacity of the X class only came into its own on long rising grades ( Bendigo, Ingliston and the North East to Seymour) In other service the C offered similar train sizes at a much lower capital and operating cost. It was the demand that all engines should be gauge convertible that prevented more, or improved, C class from being constructed.

There is movie film of the C class on KZbin. C 1 near new filmed by VR and an unknown enthusiast taking lots of movie film of the vast Melbourne goods yard in the early fifties. The C class were the first to get the modified front end in 1933. Early trying to address their problems. Did you say they were the last post war?
