The H class was an express passenger steam locomotive that ran on Victorian Railways from 1941 to 1958. Intended to eliminate the use of double heading A2 class locomotives on Overland services on the steeply graded Western line to Adelaide wartime restrictions led to only one locomotive being built. Nicknamed Heavy Harry H 220 was the largest locomotive ever built in Australia and the largest non-articulated steam locomotive to run on Australian railways.
