| DH CLASS DIESEL HYDRAULIC LOCOMOTIVE DH02 has been set aside for preservation. DH02 was the second of 73 Diesel Hydraulic type locomotives purchased by QR. The first, DH01, spent most of its life stenciled as W1 (W stood for Walkers). The difference between W1 and the remaining 72 of the class was mainly the cab roof, which was not peaked. The three sets of louvres along the bottom of the cab were a later addition. These locomotives were fairly unpopular with crews in summer due to the fact that the only ventilation afforded to the crew (other than from the side windows) was from two windows located above the short and long hoods of the locomotive. These windows were conveniently placed so that the rear window (seen in this photo) opened onto the exhaust stack. Whilst the front opened onto a hot air vent, so both these windows would only add to the interior cab temperature. The DH class locomotives used a direct drive system, that means a single drive shaft went from the engine to a gearbox (located under the cab floor) down to a universal joint and then to each of the four axles. These locomotives actually had two fuel tanks, one on either side of the loco. | ||||||||||
