I always had a soft spot for 59 class, as they just look like steam locos! It may also be partly due to the fact that a 59 class was the first NSW loco I saw in any detail (19 class episodes notwithstanding). They were built by Baldwin to complement the post-war rebuilding program, and hence are very American looking. Originally intended to have much longer tenders, the tender length was reduced so that they could fit on the standard NSWGR 50' turntable.
