History

The first five members of the class were fitted with two 250 hp (190 kW) traction motors connected in parallel to a Brush 550 hp (410 kW) main generator. Two further batches of five followed; these locomotives, designated as the TA class, had uprated 600 hp (450 kW) main generators.[1][2][3]

The first was built by Tulloch Limited with the remainder sent to Western Australia in parts and assembled locally.[1] UGL Rail use TA1813 as their shunter at Bassendean.[4]
