This
locomotive was built by the well-known Leeds, UK builder Hudswell, Clarke
& Co. Ltd. It worked at Victoria Mill, Ingham
where it was known as ‘Sydney’. Apparently
‘Sydney’ had been operational on Bally Hooley tourist train duties at Mossman
Mill during the 1990's, where it was known as 'Bally Hooley Too'. I
understand ‘Sydney’ is now privately owned and had since been stored at
Julatten, Queensland. It seems a
change of owner may have occurred by November 2018 as ‘Sydney’ has recently been
spotted in a storage site in the Sydney suburb of Kingswood (in company with
Fowler 17693 of 1927). |
