The NZR W class consisted of two steam locomotives built at the Addington Railway Workshops in Christchurch, New Zealand by the New Zealand Railways Department.
Almost all subsequent tank locomotive classes built by NZR were classified as sub-classes of the W class, e.g. WA, WAB, WB. The only exception was the Y class.

Famous quotes containing the word class:
“The great disadvantage, and advantage, of the small urban bourgeois is his limited outlook. He sees the world as a middle- class world, and everything outside these limits is either laughable or slightly wicked.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
