Designed by Clyde and built by Walkers, these are one of the most powerful narrow gauge locos in the world. They are similar to Westrail's S class; however, being AC instead of DC will give them a higher tractive effort.
Thier duties will include mostly coal and mineral haulage, such as the Moura, Callide, and Newlands coal mines, the Phosphate Hill phosphate mine, and Mt Isa-Townsville mineral traffic.

A further 15 locos are on order as the 4100 class, these will be pretty much the same apart from Mitsubishi instead of Siemens traction motors.
