The Queensland Railways 6D13½ Abt class locomotive was a class of 0-6-0RT steam locomotives operated by Queensland Railways. Two locomotives by Dübs and Company entered service in October 1900 and were designated 6D13½ Abt under the railway's system, in which the 6 stands for the number of driving wheels, the D for a tank locomotive and the 13½ for the cylinder diameter in inches. They were built to help conventional locomotives up and down a steeply graded rack railway section of the Central Western line at Mount Morgan. In 1906 a further pair was built by the North British Locomotive Company, with two more delivered in 1915. The remaining five were withdrawn in 1952 when the section was bypassed.
