FMSR 1938 Class O (Later Class 561) 4-6-2

Full Train Stamp Sheet

60c stamps from Niutao, Tuvalu in the Pacific issued 21st August 1985. The first stamp illustrates the technical / plan drawings and the second stamp shows the locomotive at work.

The Malayan railway system started at Singapore and ran north through the peninsular, dividing into east and west main lines, each of which meet the Thailand railway system on the frontier in the north. The railway used Pacific (4-6-2) passenger locomotives, with the 1938 O Class proving the most competent design (built by the North British Locomotive Co. of Glasgow). The locomotives were later reclassified as Class 561. Among other modern features of the locomotive was Caprotti poppet valve gear. Successive batches of the Class O were built until 1946 as Classes 562, 563, and 564.

Between 1983 and 1987 the Islands of the British Commonwealth collaboratively produced an Omnibus issue of postage stamps depicting famous and historic locomotives.

Malayan Railway Building , Penang 1907

Wisma Kastam which currently houses the state Customs Department was formerly the Malayan Railway Building that sat alongside trading offices and warehouses built in the 20th century.

Back when it was called the Malayan Railway Building , the station is believed to be the only one in the world without a rail. Instead of platforms or trains, it had administrative offices, a ticketing booth and a first-class Railways Restaurant with Bar and Grill.

Passengers bought their tickets at the Penang Railway Station, walked to the Railway Jetty at the end of the China Street Ghaut and boarded the Railway Ferry Streamers to Butterworth to catch the train. Fares to and from Penang were inclusive of the ferry ride.

Built a century ago, the Malayan Railway Building marked the completion of the Federated Malay States (FMS) Railway which was mainly used to transport tin and crops.It was the railway’s northern region headquarters. In the late 60s, the state Customs Office occupied the building.
