Class AD60 Beyer Peacock Garratt 4-8-4 and 4-8-4 No. 6029, built 1954, was first used on branch line heavy freight as it had a light axle load of only 16 tons. However, after modifications it was used on the mainlines until 1972, and was known as a 'Super Garratt' (indicated by the two plus signs at the front) with a tractive effort on 63490 lbf. No. 6029 is seen at the New South Wales Rail Museum at Thirlmere on 18th April 2023, and is operational although under maintenance at present.
