Arguably the most visually impressive steam locomotive used by NZR were the 3 'G' class Garratts from 1928 built for North Island Main Trunk goods service, but they were ultimately a failure, and a book was written about why.
This must be the best portrait photo of them that exists, taken at Paekakariki, as those who have our books will recognize instantly. (NZR photo)
