These Garratts were unusual in that they were built by Societe Franco-Belge of Raismes, France in 1953. They were the last steam engines to enter service with the South Australian Railways. Built as oil-burners to 1067mm gauge, they could be converted to 1435mm or 1600mm and fitted with a mechanical stoker and changed to burn coal, but none were.
