Walkers Locomotives

Model Numbers

Walkers is an engineering firm based in Maryborough, Queensland, and is a subsidiary of Evans Deakin Industries (EDI). In the 1980's, Clyde Industries unsuccessfully tried to takeover EDI, and now, the reverse has occurred. The two were merged in October 2001 to become EDI Rail. Walkers has built around 160 locos for Australian operators, with most of these being used for shunting.
