P 117		P	2-4-0T	James Martin 57 of 1893	Display	National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide	P 117 is displayed undercover at the National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide. It is an example of the Beyer Peacock & Co 2-4-0T passenger tank design first supplied to the Isle of Wight Railway.
Rx 5		Rx	4-6-0	SAR Islington Workshops 13 of 1909	Plinthed	Kapunda	Rx 5 was the first Rx-class locomotive built new to the Rx specification, rather than rebuilt from the earlier R-class. The Rx-class ultimately numbered 84 examples and formed the backbone of the South Australian Railways broad-gauge loco fleet. Rx 5 is plinthed in a park at Kapunda.
Rx 55		Rx	4-6-0	SAR Islington Workshops 25 of 1913	Plinthed	Loxton	Rx 55 is displayed within a local history museum located on the banks of the River Murray at Loxton.
Rx 93		Rx	4-6-0	Dubs 2142 of 1886	Display	National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide	Rx 93 is the oldest of the preserved Rx-class locomotives, and the only surviving Rx to have originally been built as a original R-class loco.
Rx 160		Rx	4-6-0	SAR Islington Workshops 29 of 1913	Display	Murray Bridge (Wharf Area)	Rx 160 is displayed alongside the Murray River at the old Murray Bridge wharf area.
Rx 191		Rx	4-6-0	SAR Islington Workshops 41 of 1916	Plinthed	Victor Harbour	Rx 191 is plinthed in a playground near the station at Victor Harbour, with an overhead roof but exposed to salt air from the nearby seaside. Rx 191 has a stovepipe chimney and an older-style 6-wheel tender which has now been cut down to the frame (presumably due to corrosion).
Rx 201		Rx	4-6-0	North British 20152 of 1913	Plinthed	Tailem Bend	Rx 201 is plinthed in a park at the railway town of Tailem Bend, near to the historical railway station. It retains its original copper-capped chimney but has become derelict in its years as a park locomotive.

Rx 217		Rx	4-6-0	Walkers 245 of 1915	Plinthed	Nuriootpa	Rx 217 is plinthed in a park at Nuriootpa, north of Adelaide.
Rx 224		Rx	4-6-0	Walkers 252 of 1915	Operational	SteamRanger Tourist Railway, Mount Barker	Rx 224 was originally retained as a railtour engine, together with sister Rx 207.
Rx 231		Rx	4-6-0	Walkers 259 of 1915	Plinthed	Kadina	Rx 231 is plinthed in the Apex Park in central Kadina. It is fitted with a plain stovepipe chimney of the type that appears to have been common in the final years of SAR steam.
F 245		F	4-6-2T	James Martin 230 of 1915	Plinthed	Gawler	F 245 has been displayed at Gawler, north of Adelaide, since 1960. In December 2002 it was relocated from Gawler oval to Gawler railway station for cosmetic restoration under a 'work for the dole' scheme, with a weather roof constructed.
F 251		F	4-6-2T	Perry, built 1922	Workshop	SteamRanger Tourist Railway, Mt Barker	F 251 was condemned by the South Australian Railway in July 1962 and placed on display at Elizabeth West Shopping Centre. It was purchased by the Australian Railway Historical Society (S. A. Division) in 1981 and transferred to their Dry Creek depot for restoration. It has since operated on SteamRanger tourist services to Victor Harbour. F 251 was withdrawn from service at the end of 2001 and is now stored awaiting overhaul.
F 255		F	4-6-2T	Perry, built 1922	Display	National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide	The handsome & well-proportioned F-class 4-6-2T locomotives were designed for suburban trains around Adelaide. They performed well on suburban trains for many years, together with shunting duties, until displaced by the ‘Redhen’ Diesel Multiple Units from the 1950's. F 255 represents the F-class as a static exhibit at the National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide.
504		500B	4-8-4	Armstrong Whitworth 637 of 1926	Display	National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide	1926 marked the year that the South Australian Railways received the first American-style ‘big engines’ of the 500, 600 and 700-classes. The 500-class were built primarily for heavy passenger duties over the Adelaide Hills and were originally supplied as 4-8-2's. Booster trucks were added in 1929 to make a 4-8-4 wheel arrangement. Preserved loco 504 was named 'Tom Barr Smith' by the South Australian Railways and is the only survivor of the class.
520		520	4-8-4	SAR Islington Workshops, built 1943	Under Overhaul	Steamranger Tourist Railway, Mt Barker	The 520 class were introduced from 1943 to provide a powerful locomotive capable of handling passenger turns on secondary lines; although large engines, the 4-8-4 wheel arrangement and 12-wheel bogie tender spread the weight and hence provided a low axle-load. Class leader 520 has been maintained by SteamRanger for many years and is currently under overhaul at their Mt Barker depot after extensive railtour use during the 1970's and 1980's.
523		520	4-8-4	SAR Islington Workshops, built 1944	Display	National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide	The 520-class 4-8-4's No.523 -531 feature classic 'shark-nose' streamlining similar to the Pennsylvania Railroad T1 Duplex locomotives. (The first three locomotives No.520, 521 & 522 featured a somewhat different shark-nose design.) Preserved loco No.523 was named ‘Essington Lewis’ by the South Australian Railways and is statically displayed within the National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide.
526	-	520	4-8-4	SAR Islington Workshops, built 1943	Scrapped in 1971	-	526 was scrapped in 1971 after a period of railtour use, being replaced in this role by 520. Some components remain as spares for 520, notably the driving wheels. The nosecone (including chimney and road numbers) was apparently also saved by someone and restored as they were advertised for private sale in April 2003.
621		620	4-6-2	SAR Islington Workshops, built 1936	Operational	Steamranger Tourist Railway, Mt Barker	The 620-class ‘Light Pacific’ 4-6-2 locomotives were designed by the South Australian Railways to fill a gap between the 600-class heavy Pacifics on main line duties and the older Rx-class 4-6-0's and S-class 4-4-0's used on light country lines. Ten 620-class locomotives were built by the South Australian Railways at Islington Workshops between 1936 and 1938. 621 has been cared for by SteamRanger for many years and is based at their Mt Barker depot.
624		620	4-6-2	SAR Islington Workshops, built 1937	Display	National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide	624 was placed on static display at the Mile End Railway Museum in April 1967. During 1988 it was transferred to the new Port Dock Station Museum at Port Adelaide (now known as the National Railway Museum) where it is prominently displayed in the main exhibit hall.
702		700	2-8-2	Armstrong Whitworth 645 of 1926	Display	National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide	702 is the last survivor of the 700-series of heavy freight locomotives. The first 700-class 2-8-2 locomotives were 10 examples delivered by Armstrong Whitworth in 1926, while a further 10 Australian built engines comprised the now-extinct 710 class. An enlarged 2-8-4 version became the 720-class, while a further batch of 2-8-2's were the 740-class.
752		750	2-8-2	North British 26787 of 1951	Display	National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide	752 was originally Victorian Railways N 477 prior to its sale to the South Australian Railways in 1951 after less than one month of use. It is the only survivor of the 10 members of the 750 class and is displayed at the National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide.

Y 71		Y	2-6-0	Beyer Peacock 2762 of 1886	Display	ARHS Railway Museum, Bassendean, Perth, WA	The SAR Y-class / WAGR G-class 2-6-0 design was popular with WA timber concerns for use on their timber tramways, with many units obtained second hand from the Government railway systems. Among these was Y 71 which was sold to the West Australian Jarrah Forest Co. in 1927. Y 71 is now displayed among the locomotive exhibits at the ARHS Railway Museum, Bassendean.
Y 82		Y	2-6-0	Beyer Peacock 2909 of 1888	Plinthed	Peterborough	Y 82 was withdrawn by the South Australian Railways in 1960 and plinthed at the Peterborough town pool and playground, where it remained for 40 years. Y 82 was moved to the Steamtown Peterborough workshop in 2000 for cosmetic restoration. It was then placed on display in the Peterborough town centre.
Yx 86		Y	2-6-0	Beyer Peacock 2913 of 1888	Display	ARHS Railway Museum, Bassendean, Perth, WA	Y 86 was sold for railway building duties on the Oodnadatta to Alice Springs section of the Central Australia Railway and later purchased by Bunning Bros. for use in their West Australian timber operations. It was rebuilt to Yx specification in 1958 by replacing the round-top boiler with a larger, higher pitched Belpaire boiler. Yx 86 is now displayed among the locomotive exhibits at the ARHS Railway Museum, Bassendean.
Y 97		Y	2-6-0	Beyer Peacock 3147 of 1890	Display	National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide	Y 97 was known as Peterborough shunter and features in many enthusiast photos of the Peterborough roundhouse in the 1960's. It featured on some ARHS railtour duties towards the end of the steam era and was the last Y-class in service when withdrawn by the South Australian Railways in May 1970.

Y 109		Y	2-6-0	James Martin 8 of 1890	Plinthed	Manjimup, WA (at the timber museum)	Y 109 was sold into the West Australian timber industry, where it was heavily rebuilt using a combination of SAR Y-class and WAGR G-class components, with a WAGR A-class 4-wheel tender.
Yx 135	Yx 135 was transferred to the Commonwealth Railways in 1943 for WW2 duty on the North Australia Railway. It was renumbered NFB 88.
Yx 141		Yx	2-6-0	James Martin 43 of 1892	Operational	Pichi Richi Railway, Quorn	Yx 141 had been plinthed in a park at Port Lincoln until 1983, when it was acquired by the Pichi Richi Railway and transferred to Quorn. It has since been comprehensively rebuilt in the Pichi Richi Railway workshops. A crack was discovered in one of the cylinders during the final stages of the locomotive’s overhaul, which required a replacement to be cast, but the restoration team overcame this setback and Yx141 has now been returned to operation.
Yx 176		Yx	2-6-0	James Martin 178 of 1898	Stored	Yarloop Steam Workshops, Yarloop, WA	Y 176 was sold by the South Australian Railways in 1937 to Bunning Brothers for use in the West Australian timber industry. It was rebuilt by Bunnings from Y to Yx specification in 1956. Yx 176 is now located at the excellent Yarloop Steam Workshop (within the former timber mill) and displayed together with a good collection of operating steam machinery. Alas the magnificent Yarloop Steam Museum was destroyed by bushfire in January 2016 but reconstruction of the museum is now underway. In the meantime, fire damaged Yx 176 is stored in a compound nearby.
