Tasmania's Hagans

Tasmania's Hagans tells the story of an unusual articulated 2-6-4-OT Steam locomotive which operated on the 2ft gauge (610mm) North East Dundas Tramway (NEDT) on Tasmania's rugged and picturesque west coast.

A brief history, aided with achiveal photographs, of both the NEDT and the Hagans Locomotive Factory in Germany is followed by a detailed description of the fascinating mechanical articulation which is supported by many scale drawings of individual locomotive parts. Other scale drawings include the four classes of steam locomotives which were rostered for use on the NEDT and the 132ft radius curved trestle built precariously in front of the spectacular 240ft high Montezuma Falls.
