DHR A Class

The DHR A Class was a class of 2 ft gauge 0-4-0WT well tank steam locomotives used on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway in West Bengal, India, and was the railway's first standard design of locomotive. Eight served on the line. The first two, numbers 9 and 10, were built by Sharp, Stewart and Company in 1881. The next four, numbers 11 to 14, were built by Hunslet the following year, although Sharp Stewart supplied the wheel centre forgings, chimney bases, castings and finished injectors, and the last two, numbers 15 and 16, were built by Sharp Stewart in 1883. All except numbers 9 and 10 were withdrawn by 1911, and only the frames of one engine were saved, at Tindharia.
