The Z13 class was a class of steam locomotive built for and operated by the New South Wales Government Railways of Australia.

History

About 1896, due to a shortage of suburban engines in the Sydney area and the availability of surplus C79 class tender engines, it was decided to experimentally convert one of the tender locomotives to a tank type engine. The conversion proved successful and twenty such locomotives had been converted by 1902.

Following the delivery of more modern locomotives from 1903, they went into the Newcastle suburban traffic and when they were replaced there, they were allocated minor roles such as working the Morpeth, Warren and Carlingford Branches.

In later years their main duties were working of the Ballina branch, the Picton-Mittagong Loop line, the Yass Town branch and school trains in the upper North Coast.

Only three examples remain. 1301 and 1308 are with the New South Wales Rail Transport Museum, whilst 1307 is on display at Yass^[1].

1308 is currently dismantled at Valley Heights museum.
