Polly is an interesting hybrid locomotive, representing an Aveling and Porter traction engine which has been modified for rail use with a resulting 2-2-0 wheel configuration.  I understand the driving wheelset was originally sourced from a redundant WAGR R-class 4-4-0 express passenger locomotive.   Further information about Polly and its history is welcome.

Today Polly can be found plinthed outside the Collie Tourist Information Office.
