 The other two were built by A & G Price of Thames for the Public Works Department in 1906, who allocated them numbers PWD 501 and 502.These locomotives were taken over by the NZR in 1909, and were renumbered as WF 467 and WF 468 respectively.The WF class was designed primarily for suburban duties, although the class saw a wider sphere of operations; during their early years several ran main-line trains in Taranaki for a time before being replaced by larger engines.
