This was not a common Garratt arrangement; ten were built by Beyer, Peacock and Company, owner of the Garratt patent, and none by any other builder. The first were a pair for the Tasmanian Government Railways in Australia; these were to narrow gauge. All the others were built for Argentina, to standard gauge; five in 1927 for the Entre Ríos Railway (Ferrocarril Entre Ríos, FCER), and three in 1930 for the Argentine North Eastern Railway (Ferrocarril Nordeste Argentino, FCNAR). All ended up on the Ferrocarril General Urquiza after nationalization in 1948.
