This interesting 0-4-4-0T Mallet locomotive was built by German manufacturer Orenstein & Koppel (builder's number 3770 of 1909) and worked at the Krebet Baru Sugar Mill, Indonesia, where it was No.3. Krebet Baru Mill No.3 was purchased for private preservation and imported to Australia in 1987 (together with Krebet Baru Mill No.11) and moved to suburban Bayswater, Melbourne in 1989, where it kept company with Porter 0-6-0ST No.14P and two 0-4-0ST locos ex- Mt Morgan Mines. a In October 2009 this locomotive was sold to another private owner and has now been exported. b |
