No.7 was a double fairlie locomotive.

History

No.7 was built in 1879 s builders number 1241 and 1242 (it was viewed as two engines) of the Avonside Engine company for use on the Northern Railway of the Western Australian Government Railways. However No.7 didn't enter service until 1885 as before then No.23 and 24 had handled the traffic but due to bad water their boilers were deteriorating quickly. In 1888 No.7 was transferred along with No.20 to the Eastern Railway where it did a trial run to see if it could clear the station platforms.

No.7 ended up hitting an empty cart on a level crossing near East Perth. It was numbered 7 and classed E shortly after. Before 1893 No.7 was heavily overhauled and rebuilt to make it more efficient. Between 1894 and 1895 No.7 was withdrawn from service and sold to the Canning Jarrah Timber company where it operated on their railway from Midland Junction to the Canning saw mills. It was withdrawn and scrapped in 1897. Parts of No.7 were used in the construction of "Log Haulers" and a tender for CJT Co. locomotive Coates (this tender was later replaced).
