The G class Garratt locomotives were built for the Victorian Railways 2′ 6 gauge branch lines. These locomotives were introduced in 1926 to increase train sizes and thus reduce losses on these lines. Their tractive effort was comparable to the most powerful branch line locomotives on the Victorian Railways broad gauge the K class.
