The Jugoslovenske Železnice (JŽ; Yugoslavian Railways) class 62 was a class formed of 106 ex-United States Army Transportation Corps S100 Class 0-6-0T steam locomotives, surplus after the Second World War, plus about 90 similar examples built by Đuro Đaković of Slavonski Brod, Croatia between 1952 and 1961.
These Yugoslav-built examples differ in minor details, but principally the use of plate frames instead of bar frames, resulting in a higher . This in turn leads to distinct shoulder on the (the American-built examples having straight steam pipes) and smaller domes which have a flat top so they are not higher than the cab roof.
Preservation[]
Several of these engines survive, but one 62-669, built in 1960 was bought by a preservation group in England and has been modified to resemble a Southern Railway USA class, and become "No. 30075", one higher than the last British Railways example. Another one has since followed:
- 62-669 (built 1960) Shillingstone Railway Project "30075" JŽ class 62 62-669 as "30075"
- 62-521 (built 1954) Shillingstone Railway Project "30076"
