A circa early 1880s B Class (B50) steam locomotive (190 x 35 x 50 mm) built by Beyer, Peacock & Co in England, green livery with gold plated trim, 2-4-0 wheel configuration, with rolling stock comprising three passenger carriages and a 'Yz' guard van, total size 640 x 35 x 50 mm. (6 items) (B Class locomotives were a lighter weight engine ordered to operate on the more cheaply constructed railway lines which followed the expensively constructed lines built to connect Melbourne to the gold rush towns of Ballarat & Bendigo. the William Meikle designed B Class 'Buzzwinker' engines built at the phoenix foundry tended to damage the lightly-laid track whereas the two B Class engines ordered in 1873 from Beyer Peacock did not have the same detrimental impact.).
