Unlike the earlier crane locomotives which lifted my means of a winch, these locomotives are luffing cranes which lift by raising the long (21' 9'') jib by means of a steam cylinder. The jib can also be rotated under power. Interesting features of this class are the hole through the jib to permit the smoke to escape when the jib is in the full forward position, and the sloping top to the steam chests. Some of these cranes were fitted with turbo generators for use with electromagnets for lifting scrap.
1082 survived to be one of the last steam locomotives in use on the NSWGR, still being seen shunting around Eveleigh Workshops well after steam (and a few classes of 1st generation diesels) had vanished from the main lines. The locomotive still exists and has been given at least some restoration as an apprentice training exercise. It is presently stored in the large erecting shop at Eveleigh.

The Photo at the top of the page was taken by Andrew Gordon at Eveleigh.
Grunbach has two photos on 1082 on pages 156,157. One taken in 1954 shows a very fancy lined paint scheme, while the other taken in 1960 shows 1082 shunting 3825. Both photos were taken at Chullora Workshops.
Century+ has a front on, jib raised view of 1082
Buckland page 132 shows 1082 at Chullora workshops in October 1953.
Railway Album No2has a photo of 1082 just out of overhaul at Eveleigh in October 1962.
Roundhouse January 1993 has a photograph of 1082 with 2016 outside Chullora workshops in May 1959.
