{{no sources|date=October 2023}} [[File:WAGR 18 (5361205974).jpg|thumb|H class No. 18 on display at Bassendean in 2010.]] The '''WAGR H class''' were a total of 2 [[Steam locomotive|steam]] [[Locomotive|locomotives]] built in 1889 by [[Neilson and Company|Neilson & Coy]] of [[Glasgow]], [[Scotland]] for operation by the [[Western Australian Government Railways]] (WAGR). The H class were [[0-6-0]] [[Side tank locomotive|side tank engines]] with one, No. 18 entering service on the [[Eastern Railway (Western Australia)|Eastern Railway]], the other, No. 17 was stored at [[Bunbury, Western Australia|Bunbury]] awaiting the opening of the [[Bunbury to Boyanup line]]. Although the WAGR attempted to move No. 17 to the Eastern Railway this was protested by the locals, so No. 17 stayed at Bunbury until mid-1890 when it began operating construction trains under the new number 22. Upon the Bunbury to [[Boyanup, Western Australia|Boyanup]] line's opening No. 18 was transferred to Bunbury to work alongside No. 22. During the construction of the [[Fremantle Harbour|Fremantle Harbour South-mole]] both engines were used to haul materials from 1895 to 1897. No.18 was sold in 1904 and No. 22 in 1907 to the [[Goldfields Water Supply Administration]] for the [[Mundaring Weir Branch line]] but both became WAGR property once more in 1909 when the WAGR's jurisdiction extended to the branch line. No. 22 was sold to contractors [[Smith and Timms contractors|Smith & Timms]] for the construction of the [[Marble Bar Railway]] before returning to the WAGR once more in 1912 being used as jetty shunter at [[Port Hedland, Western Australia|Port Hedland]], being scrapped in 1956. No. 18 was reallocated to the [[Public Works Department (Western Australia)|Public Works Department]] (PWD) for operation at [[Fremantle]] Harbour North Quay and later on at [[Esperance, Western Australia|Esperance]]. In 1926 No. 18 was relocated to Bunbury until its withdrawal in the late 1950s. No. 18 was preserved after being donated to the [[Australian Railway Hi
