The NZR Q class was an important steam locomotive class not only in the history of New Zealand's railway network but also in worldwide railways in general. Designed by New Zealand Government Railways' (NZR) Chief Mechanical Engineer A. L. Beattie and ordered from the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1901, they were the first locomotives in the world to be built with the wheel arrangement of 4-6-2. This wheel arrangement came to be known as the Pacific type after the voyage the completed locomotives had to make across the Pacific Ocean to New Zealand. A few instances of the 4-6-2 wheel arrangement are known to have existed prior to 1901, but these were all reconstructions of locomotives that were originally built with a different wheel arrangement, thereby making the thirteen members of the Q cl

  • Die 1901 gebauten Fahrzeuge der Klasse Q der Neuseeländischen Staatsbahn (New Zealand Government Railways, NZR) waren Schlepptender-Dampflokomotiven mit der Achsfolge 2'C1' (Pacific). Die Klassenbezeichnung Q war schon zuvor an eine Serie von 1'B2'-Tenderlokomotiven vergeben worden, die aber 1901 bereits ausgemustert war (siehe ). Kein Exemplar ist erhalten geblieben. (de)
