The VSLC are building Australia's 1st new-build locomotive - A Victorian Railways' V class 2-8-0
The Victorian Steam Locomotive Company Pty/Ltd was set up with the aim of building and operating an extinct class of locomotive of the Victorian Railways system - the Vauclain Compound V Class, 2-8-0. Where as most surviving types of locomotives are preserving the 1950s, the V499 Project will be recreating the 1900s.
