The New Zealand WF class were steam locomotives designed built and used by New Zealand Railways Department. Their wheel arrangement is described by the Whyte notation 2-6-4T and the first members of the class entered service in 1904. The locomotives were tank engines designed by the Railways Department’s Chief Mechanical Engineer A. L. Beattie and were mainly built for suburban duties such as those between Christchurch and Lyttelton.
