The Australian Standard Garratt
(ASG) was proposed and designed by the Commonwealth Land Transport Board in
1942 in response to the urgent need for powerful locomotives for the 3'
6" gauge railways of Australia during World War 2. G33 was used by Australian Portland Cement, Fyansford and
is the only surviving ASG locomotive. After many years of static display at
North Williamstown, G33 was transferred to the Bellarine Railway in 2011 and
is now under restoration to operation. |

retirement and preservation at the Puffing Billy Railway. It was restored to
