Classing: 80s - 80 class Silverton
The 80s class were reclassed NSW 80 class locomotives that were owned by Silverton. As with their numbering system they put an 's' after the original class and placed them into service under the new number, some with and some without a repaint. Silverton originally planned to put 16 80s class locomotives into service but the locomotives were purchased off of them before this eventuated with only 4 locomotives entering service.
