What is WAGR Ms class?
{{no sources|date=October 2023}} [[File:MS class portrait.jpg|thumb|Ms class in the 1940s.]] The '''WAGR Ms class''' were a total of 8 successful [[Garratt locomotive|Garratt]] [[Steam locomotive|steam]] [[Locomotive|locomotives]] operated by the [[Western Australian Government Railways]] (WAGR) from 1913 to 1955. The Ms class were ordered new from [[Beyer, Peacock and Company|Beyer, Peacock & Coy]] as a [[Superheater|superheated]] version of the standard [[WAGR M class (1911)|M class]] which they built previously in 1911. Superheating improved their steaming qualities making them more favourable with crews for their free-steaming abilities. In 1934 a single M class, No. 389 was converted to a Ms at [[Midland Railway Workshops]]. Withdrawals for the class began in 1947 and continued until 1955 when all had been scrapped. == Gallery == <gallery> File:Ms429 + train, Jarrahdale.jpg|No. 429 at Jarrahdale.
