K 176 was
built by the Victorian Railways' Newport Workshops in 1941 to the successful
K-class 2-8-0 locomotive design for branch-line work.
K 176 had been
plinthed for many years at Deniliquin, NSW, where it was displayed on the old
turntable. (Deniliquin is the terminus of a broad-gauge branch line which
crosses the border from Victoria.) K 176 was subsequently acquired by the Seymour Railway Heritage Centre
for future restoration.
