What is Australian Standard Garratt?
{{no sources|date=November 2023}} [[File:Australian Standard Garratt number 33.jpg|thumb|ASG No. G33 on display at Newport in 2007.]] The '''Australian Standard Garratt''' (ASG) was a total of 57 [[Steam locomotive|steam]] [[Locomotive|locomotives]] built from 1943 to 1945. After the [[Government of Australia|federal government]] founded the [[Commonwealth Land Transport Board]] (CLTB) in 1939 a recommendation was made to build several types of Garratt for [[Australia|Australian]] railway networks. The CLTB only authorised the construction of the light type from several Australian builders for service in [[Western Australia]], [[South Australia]], [[Tasmania]] and [[Queensland]]. Though they did provide temporary relief to said systems they were found to have several flaws and most were withdrawn in the 1950s. One ASG No. G33 (which never actually served on a government system) is preserved and on display at [[Newport Railway Museum]] after working [[Industry|industrial]] [[Train|trains]].
