| Description |
Dg 772 (TMS number 2255, formerly Dh 772) is the Diesel Traction Group's flagship locomotive. It is one of a class of forty-two locomotives that were built by the English Electric Company of the United Kingdom, in conjunction with the Vulcan Foundry and Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn Ltd. Introduced into NZ in 1955 as the Dg and Dh classes, they were the South Island's first diesel electric locomotives and added to several existing classes that were already at work in the North Island. The Dg locomotives were powered by the English Electric 6SRKT Mk 2 diesel engine, a 6 cylinder inline with bore 10" and stroke 12", developing 750 hp at 850 rpm. The wheel arrangement was A1A-A1A with four traction motors mounted on the outer axles of each of the two three-axle bogies. Dg 772 was one of the first pair delivered to the South Island and was put to work in the Dunedin area after use as a stationary generator at Railway workshops. |
