The 42 class locomotives were built by Clyde Engineering at Granville, New South Wales for the New South Wales Government Railways between 1955 and 1956. Six locomotives were built numbered 4201–4206. They were built with the classic "bulldog nose", and while similar in appearance to the 421 class, the 42 class do not have a second cab at the rear of the locomotive.

The locomotives have an EMD 16-567C motor developing 1,305 kW (1,750 horsepower), EMD D12 generator, and six EMD D37 traction motors The 42 class have a top speed of 115 km/h, have a length of 18.54 m, and weigh 122 t. These locomotives ride on Co-Co bogies and operate on standard gauge.

The current status of these locomotives are:
