The NZR A class 0-4-0T was the second locomotive class commissioned for New Zealand railways in 1873. A total of fourteen engines were built between Dübs & Co., Yorkshire Engine Co., Alexander Shanks & Co., and the Lion Foundry in Wellington, making it the first locomotive built locally in New Zealand. A62 (built by Dübs) was the longest-serving engine, working on line construction at Bluff, Wellington, and New Plymouth, and later as a log-hauler on the Piha Tramway until 1920.
