The C30 4-6-4 tank locomotives were introduced in 1903 for use on the Sydney suburban system. A total of 145 locos were eventually built. When electrification of the Sydney suburban system rendered them superfluous, more than 70 were converted to a light tender design (the C30T class). The remainder stayed in service on outer suburban and Newcastle passenger trains as well as on short country branches, banking duties and shunting. They were withdrawn during the 1950s and 1960s

The kit uses polyurethane castings, pewter castings, lost wax castings and photo etched brass engravings. Parts are provided to enable constructionof the loco as originally built or as they were altered in their life.
