NWR Class TG

The NWR Class TG was a class of twenty 0-6-0+0-6-0 Duplex type steam locomotives built by the Neilson Locomotive Works for the North Western Railway of India in 1888.
== History ==
In all, a total of twenty examples of what had became the NWR Class TG were ever constructed by the Neilson Locomotive Works of Glasgow, Scotland in 1888.
These locomotives were designed to work in pairs, they were designed to have a weird tender setup where two locomotives are at either end of the tender, while the tender is in the middle of the locomotive. The idea was that two locomotives were better than one and having them constantly linked would give it more power, these locomotives were designed to operate heavy freight trains up very steep gradients. The end result was that these locomotives didn't work that well in this format.
The entire class was deemed as unsuccessful, and all twenty examples were rebuilt into normal tender engines. Not a single one of the twenty locomotives were preserved, they were all scrapped.
