TL class

Classing: TL - T class (Possibly because they resemble a first series T class) Leasable/Leasing

The TL class were originally built by Clyde Engineering Australia in 1952 and shipped to Hong Kong. 5 were built for a railway over there and they were a spitting image of a Victorian Railway's flat top T class but with a larger engine. When they were no longer needed, four (No. 52, 53, 54, 55) were put on sale and one (No. 51) was donated to a museum. The four put on sale were purchased by CFCLA and shipped to Australia for refurbishment and re-entered service in 2006 as the TL class. They kept their original numbers from when they were in service in Hong Kong but with a 1 added in front so that they would fit in the numbering scheme without changing their original number.
