History

No.51 was built in 1898 by James Martin and company as builders number 171 for the Western Australian Government Railways as part of their G class and numbered 51 (the second engine to use this number). It was sold to the Commonwealth Railways in 1942 and classed Nfc number 74 but renumbered the next year to 73 and withdrawn from service in 1947 and sold to the WAGR but this sale was cancelled due to the engine being such a poor condition and it was scrapped at Darwin that year.
