Baldwin supplied two 2-6-2T two and a half foot gauge tank locomotives to the Victorian Railways in 1898. The VR workshops in assembled two more from the spare parts supplied. Further production locomotives brought the number to 17. Two locomotives had received a four-cylinder compound engine of the Vauclain type, the rest had a two-cylinder simple engine. The first locomotive was scrapped in 1929 due to wear, most were retired between 1945 and 1960. Today there are six machines on the Puffing Billy Railway, five of which are operational.
