Queensland C16 class locomotive
The C16 class steam locomotive is a 4-8-0 locomotive of the Queensland Railways QR. The locomotives operated on gauge. The “C”, is used to identify the number of coupled wheels, being eight coupled wheels for the C16 class, followed by numerals indicating the cylinder diameter of . This resulted in the C16 class locomotive.
==Construction==
The prototype, N°395, was the first engine to be built by the then new North Ipswich Railway Workshops.〔http://www.qrig.org/motive-power/locomotives/steam/c16-class〕 It was the only Queensland Rail engine with the exception of the Garratt classes to be fitted with a screw reverser. After successful trials, an order for a further 20 was placed in 1906 and construction began in earnest. The first engines had an unusual combined number and builder’s plate mounted on the sides of the cab. In early years, the class was often referred to as “Ipswich C16″ to distinguish them from the Baldwin built C16 engines of the previous century. Of the 152 locomotives constructed, only one remains - 106, at Downs Steam.
Three engines were specially turned out for a time to haul the heavy Sydney Mail train until larger locomotives took over this duty. Engines constructed from around 1910 were given indiscriminate numbers by being allocated numbers of scrapped locomotives. The number plate itself was not "recycled" however, and the works constructing the engines provided new cast plates in their own distinctive style. This commenced a trend that was used on many engines of other classes constructed during the 1920s and early 1930s.
