Pioneer No.1		0-4-2T	Hunslet 624 of 1896	Stored	Brandon Heritage Precinct (near Ayr)	Ex-Pioneer Mill. ‘Pioneer’ was privately preserved at Ayr for several decades. It has recently been acquired by the Burdekin Machine Preservationists group, who are statically restoring Pioneer for display at the Brandon Heritage Precinct.
Inkerman No.1		0-6-0T	Hunslet 1119 of 1913	Under Restoration	Burdekin, (near Home Hill)	Ex-Inkerman Mill, Home Hill. Inkerman No.1 is now privately owned and I understand it is being restored; further information is welcome.
Airdale		0-6-0T	Avonside 2043 of 1930	Stored	Boonah, SE Queensland	Ex-Pioneer Mill, where it worked from 1930 to approximately 1968. Airdale was placed in park in Brandon by Ayr Lions Club in 1973, but removed in 1992 and the boiler removed for use at a sawmill. Airdale is now privately preserved at Boonah.
John Fowler & Co Ltd, Leeds, England
2' Gauge
( - )		0-4-2T	Fowler 4668 of 1883	Display	Australian Sugar Heritage Centre, Mourilyan	Ex-Mourilyan Mill. The little Mourilyan Fowler is a rare example of the early Fowler 'Patent Drive’ (jackshaft) steam locomotive, which was apparently intended to reduce maintenance on light lines by keeping the cylinders, valve gear and crosshead well above the dust of rail level.
3		0-6-0T	Fowler 7607 of 1896	Display	Childers	This locomotive has moved around with a number of owners; I believe it was at Moama, NSW for some years. In 1983 it moved to Western Sydney where it was advertised for sale in April 2004. It was subsequently acquired for preservation and display at the Childers town museum, where it arrived in late 2007 or early 2008. It is now statically restored and displayed under a weather roof in company with Isis Mill No.6 (Fowler 13325 of 1912) and three whole-stick sugar cane wagons. For further information, refer to the Fowler 7607 of 1896 page.
Pioneer		0-6-0T	Fowler 8047 of 1899	Stored	ANGRMS, Woodford	Ex-Mossman Mill. Pioneer was the second steam locomotive delivered to Mossman Mill, north of Cairns in tropical North Queensland. It was retired from service in 1965 and purchased for preservation by the Australian Narrow Gauge Railway Museum Society (ANGRMS) in 1973. Pioneer has been in open storage for many years at ANGRMS Woodford, in company with several other locos that have been saved for posterity but are awaiting restoration.
Faugh-ah-Ballagh		0-6-0T	Fowler 8733 of 1900	Plinthed	Port Douglas	‘Faugh-a-Ballagh’ worked at Mossman Mill and the link to Port Douglas until retirement in 1958. By 2004 this historic locomotive was statically displayed at Port Douglas, together with an open wagon and bogie passenger carriage; refer to the Fowler 8733 of 1900 page for further information.
Perth		0-6-0T+T	Fowler 8766 of 1900	Stored	Pete’s Hobby Railway Junee, NSW	Ex-Macknade Mill & finally Victoria Mill. 'Perth' was built as a 0-6-0T tank locomotive but was a tender was added at a later stage of its career. Perth had been plinthed at Ingham until 1979 and was obtained privately for preservation in 1982. It is now undergoing restoration to operation at a private location in Junee.
3		0-6-0T	Fowler 11165 of 1907	Display	Bauple	Isis Mill No.3 had been plinthed in a Maryborough park until 1983, when moved to a local car wrecking yard 'Parky's Parts'. It was reported in January 2002 as purchased by Bauple Historical Society for incorporation into an historical exhibit in the town of Bauple, at the location of the former Mt Bauple sugar mill. My visit to Bauple on 28 January 2004 found No.3 displayed at the Bauple museum and apparently undergoing cosmetic repair. A simple but unauthentic cab had been mocked-up, and the side tanks were yet to be replaced.
Invicta		0-6-2	Fowler 11277 of 1907	Operational	Bundaberg Steam Tramway Preservation Society	Ex-Qunaba Mill, Bundaberg. Invicta was acquired by the Bundaberg Steam Tram Preservation Society in 1993 who completely stripped the locomotive for overhaul, including manufacture of new side tanks to the original design and repairs to the boiler. Invicta was recommissioned by the BSTPS on Saturday 17 November 2007.
5		0-6-0T	Fowler 11885 of 1909	Operational	Alexandra Timber Tramway, Vic	This handsome Fowler locomotive was last used by Gin Gin Mill, Wallaville. No. 5 was an exhibit at the Goulburn Museum of Historic Engines from 1972 to 1978 and was purchased for the Alexandra Timber Tramway in 1981. No.5 has been the regular operating locomotive at the Alexandra Timber Tramway since 1988, excepting periods of overhaul.
8		0-6-0T	Fowler 12271 of 1910	Plinthed	Taree, NSW	Ex-Macknade Mill. No. 8 operated for many years at Timbertown, Wauchope NSW where it was known as ‘The Green Hornet’. By January 2011 it had been sold and is now plinthed at the Railway Lodge Motel, Taree.
6		0-6-0	Fowler 13325 of 1912	Plinthed	Childers	No.6 came from the locomotive fleet at Isis Central Mill, Cordalba. It is now statically displayed at Childers, in company with Fowler 7607 of 1896.
Bli Bli		0-4-2T	Fowler 14418 of 1914	Display	Nambour Museum	For many years 'Bli Bli' had been plinthed at Muller Park, Bli Bli. In June 2011 it moved to Nambour to join the collection of the Nambour & District Historical Museum.
3 ANZAC	-	0-4-2T	Fowler 14666 of 1914	Scrapped	-	Ex-Babinda Mill. In 1961, No.3 ANZAC was placed a shire council park within the town of Babinda, not far from Babinda Mill. Presumably it became derelict after 14 years in the tropical environment as this locomotive was removed and unceremoniously disposed as scrap metal by 1975; not a very fitting end for this old digger.
2		0-4-2ST	Fowler 15932 of 1923	Scrapped	-	Ex-Pleystowe Mill. Following retirement from service, Pleystowe Mill No.2 was placed in Mackay Harbour Park but unfortunately it was disposed as scrap metal by 1971. Contemporary photos show it to be in fair condition, so perhaps the council objected to cost of regular repainting in Mackay’s tropical, coastal environment.
Ivy	Photo required	0-4-2T+T	Fowler 15947 of 1922	Workshop	Newcastle, NSW	Ex-Mossman Mill. Privately owned. As at August 2004, ‘Ivy’ was privately owned at Wonga Beach, near Mossman in far North Queensland, partially dismantled and available for sale. ‘Ivy’ was subsequently sold to another individual and transported to a private location in Newcastle, NSW.
11	Refer QR B9 1/2 class No.11
Coolum		0-6-0T	Fowler 16036 of 1923	Display	Eudlo (near Nambour)	Ex-Moreton Mill, Nambour. Coolum had been on static display outside local tourist attraction ‘The Big Pineapple’ near Nambour. Coolum has since moved to a private site near Eudlo; apparently the locomotive is privately owned and not accessible to the general public.
Alison		0-6-2T	Fowler 16194 of 1924	Stored	ANGRMS, Woodford	Ex-Farleigh Mill, Mackay, but originally supplied to a timber tramway in the Gold Coast hinterland. Sold to Farleigh Mill in 1931 and last used there in the early 1960's before being donated to ANGRMS in 1972. Alison has been in open storage at ANGRMS Woodford since 1980, in company with several other locos that have been saved for posterity but are awaiting restoration.
Eudlo		0-6-0T	Fowler 16207 of 1923	Display	Nambour Museum	Ex-Moreton Mill, Nambour. Eudlo was plinthed outside Moreton Mill for many years but this sugar refinery has since been demolished and the site redeveloped. Eudlo has found a good home a short distance away at the Nambour Museum, which has built a good collection of artefacts from the Moreton Mill and local sugar industry including several steam locomotives that once worked there.
Rocky Point		0-4-0WT	Fowler 16249 of 1925	Display	Beenleigh Historical Village & Museum	Ex-Rocky Point Mill. This interesting little loco had been displayed at Gilltraps Auto Museum, Kirra during the 1970's, and later at Dreamworld, Coomera in the 1980's. Fowler 16249 returned to Rocky Point in 2002 where it was thoroughly restored for static display. In 2013 it moved to the nearby Beenleigh Historical Village & Museum, where it is well cared for among the historic building and other artefacts there.
4		0-4-2T	Fowler 16340 of 1925	Workshop	Daylesford, Victoria	Ex Tully Mill. This locomotive has moved around quite a bit during its preservation career, having operated at the former Lachlan Vintage Village, Forbes during the 1970’s and the Marsden Weir Steam Museum, Goulburn around 2000. Tully Mill No.4 is now privately owned and was last reported as being under repair at a sawmill workshop in the spa town of Daylesford, Victoria.
5		0-4-2T	Fowler 16341 of 1924	Workshop	The Steam Workshop Leeds, UK	Ex-Tully Mill. This locomotive was located at the Lachlan Vintage Village, Forbes, NSW in the late 1970s, ostensibly as a source of spares for sister Tully Mill No.4. Tully Mill No.5 had been privately owned and stored at a rural site near Echuca for many years. In 2018 it was sold to a UK enthusiast and exported. After a further change of ownership, Tully Mill No.5 is now being extensively rebuilt and restored to operation at The Steam Workshops, Leeds.
1		0-4-2	Fowler 17693 of 1927	Display	Port Milang Historic Railway Museum, SA	Ex-Racecourse Mill, Mackay. Racecourse Mill No.1 had been plinthed (without its tender) in a park at Mackay Outer Harbour, but was later acquired by a private owner and stored at Kallangur / Murrumba Downs. The original tender also exists and is privately owned by a second party. The Murrumba Downs / Kallangur site was sold and cleared in 2007, with Racecourse Mill No.1 moving around that time to the Brisbane suburb of Virginia. It seems a further change of ownership occurred around October 2018 as Racecourse No.1 has been spotted in an industrial storage site at Kingswood in Sydney’s West. It has since moved to the Port Milang Historic Railway Museum, South Australia.
10		0-4-2T	Fowler 17881 of 1928	Operational	Timbertown Heritage Railway, Wauchope, NSW	Ex-South Johnstone Mill. No.10 can be seen in operation at the Timbertown Heritage Railway, where it hauls visitors around a 2km loop track surrounding the Timbertown heritage park.
Petrie		0-4-2T	Fowler 19930 of 1933	Workshop	Timbertown Heritage Railway, Wauchope, NSW	Ex-Moreton Mill, Nambour, and earlier the Babinda Central Sugar Mill. No.6 was also known as ’Petrie’ at the Moreton Mill, where it was out of use by 1967. Petrie has had many moves during its preservation career, most recently (~2019) relocating to the Timbertown Heritage Railway for overhaul and operation on the delightful tourist railway there.
4 Nelson		0-4-2T	Fowler 20273 of 1934	Operational	Bally Hooley Steam Train Port Douglas	Ex-Mulgrave Mill, Gordonvale (south of Cairns). No. 4 ‘Nelson’ had been plinthed within a park at Nelson until retrieved for restoration and operation on 'The Mulgrave Rambler', a tourist train that operated from the Mulgrave Mill Museum & Visitors Centre along cane tramway routes. Unfortunately the Mulgrave Rambler has been discontinued in recent times. No.4 Nelson now been sold to the Bally Hooley Railway and was transported to their Port Douglas operation on 11 April 2017.
Miallo		0-4-2T	Fowler 20276 of 1934	Stored	ANGRMS, Woodford	Ex-Mossman Mill. Miallo was under overhaul in 1964 when laid aside, which perhaps explains why it is somewhat incomplete. Miallo was purchased by ANGRMS in 1973 and has been in open storage at ANGRMS Woodford since 1983, in company with several other locos that have been saved for posterity but are awaiting restoration.
( - )	Photo required	0-4-2T	Fowler 20277 of 1934	Stored	Mirani (West of Mackay)	Ex-Marian Mill. Apparently the Marian Mill Fowler is privately owned and resides at Mirani, a sugar hamlet a little further west of Marian Mill, near Mackay.
Moreland	-	0-4-2T	Fowler 20284 of 1935	Scrapped	?	Ex-Qunaba Mill, Bundaberg. Moreland was purchased for private preservation following retirement. Apparently it was situated at the ILRMS Albion Park in the late 1970’s, and is thought to have been scrapped at St Mary's, NSW in about 1991. Photos for this locomotive and further information about its reported demise are welcome.
Airdmillan		0-6-2T	Fowler 20763 of 1935	Stored	ANGRMS, Woodford	Ex-Kalamia Mill. Airdmillan was one of the last steam locomotive built by John Fowler & Co. before their switch to building diesel and petrol locomotives. Airdmillan was plinthed in the Kalamia Mill yard in 1962 but it seems to have deteriorated rapidly in the tropical environment and was subsequently acquired in poor condition by ANGRMS in 1975. Airdmillan has been in open storage at ANGRMS Woodford since 1979, in company with several other locos that have been saved for posterity but are awaiting restoration.
8	-	0-6-2T	Fowler 20764 of 1935	Scrapped	-	Ex-Pleystowe Mill. Following retirement, Pleystowe Mill No.8 was placed in the Progress Association Park in the beachside town of Bucasia, north of Mackay. Presumably it became derelict – no doubt the humid, salty air of a beachside town would not have helped - as unfortunately this locomotive was removed and disposed as scrap metal in 1977.
5		0-4-2T	Fowler 22752 of 1938	Stored	ANGRMS, Woodford	Ex-South Johnstone Mill. Fowler B/N 22752 of 1938 is the same loco as Hudswell Clarke B/N 1705 of 1938 (dual b/n allocated); refer to South Johnstone Mill No.5.
Bundaberg-Fowler, Bundaberg Foundry Co Ltd, Qld
2' Gauge
4 Jumbo		0-6-2T	Bundaberg Fowler 1 of 1952	Stored	Bundaberg Steam Tramway Preservation Society (Bundaberg Botanic Gardens)	Following the withdrawal of John Fowler & Co, Leeds, UK from steam locomotive manufacture, the Bundaberg Foundry obtained a licence to build Fowler-designed locos in Australia to meet the demand from the local sugar cane industry. These Bundaberg-Fowler locos were some of the last steam locomotives built in Australia and also amongst the last sugar locomotives in operation in Australia. It is interesting to note that all 8 Bundaberg-Fowler steam locomotives are now preserved. No.4 Jumbo was last used at Qunaba Mill, Bundaberg and withdrawn in 1980. The loco was owned by Bundaberg Sugar and plinthed at the Bundaberg Rum Distillery until 2002, when donated to BSTPS for restoration to operation. The loco was moved to the BSTPS depot in Bundaberg Botanic gardens on 1/2/02.
Bundy		0-6-2T	Bundaberg Fowler 2 of 1952	Display	Bally Hooley Steam Train Port Douglas	Ex-Mossman Mill (north of Cairns). Bundy is now used on the 'Ballyhooley Commuter' tourist train at Mossman Mill, Port Douglas.
3 Nipper		0-4-2T	Bundaberg Fowler 3 of 1952	Operational	Bundaberg Steam Tramway Preservation Society (Bundaberg Botanic Gardens)	ex-Mourilyan Mill (No.8), then Millaquin Mill (No.8) and finally Qunaba Mill, Bundaberg where the loco was named 'Nipper' and retired in 1979. Nipper is the only 0-4-2T among the 8 Bundaberg Fowler products; all others were 0-6-2T however Nipper has the same boiler design as her 0-6-2T sisters. Nipper was donated to the BSTPS in 1981 and restored to operation in 1988. A new firebox and tubes were built and fitted by the Bundaberg Foundry in 1991. Nipper is preserved operational by the BSTPS and hauls tourist trains around the Bundaberg Botanic Gardens, where it also carries the number ‘3’ on the side tanks (presumably a reference to the builder’s number).
Ralf		0-6-2T	Bundaberg Fowler 4 of 1952	Workshop	Echuca, Vic.	Ex-Bingera Mill. ‘Ralf' had been preserved operational at the Lachlan Vintage Village, Forbes during the 1970's. It is now privately owned and kept at a private location near Echuca, Vic where it is under restoration to operation.
5		0-6-2T	Bundaberg Fowler 5 of 1952	Operational	ANGRMS, Woodford	Ex-Pleystowe Mill. Bundy-Fowler No. 5 was donated to ANGRMS in 1971 and has since been a regular performer on their Durundur Railway at Woodford. It has also had some interesting travels to other mills for special events and historical festivals.
5 Dobbin / Speedy		0-6-2T	Bundaberg Fowler 6 of 1952	Display	Bally Hooley Steam Train Port Douglas	This locomotive was purchased new from Bundaberg Foundry by Millaquin Mill, but was later transferred to Qunaba Mill, Bundaberg where it was named ‘Dobbin’ by driver Russell Francis. The loco was purchased from Millaquin Sugar Co. in 1981 to work the Bally Hooley Commuter at Mossman Mill, where it was apparently named 'Speedy'. Alas the Bally Hooley Steam Train closed and today No.5 Dobbin / Speedy is statically displayed at Port Douglas, together with the former Bally Hooley steam fleet.
Kolan / Count Strzelecki		0-6-2T	Bundaberg Fowler 7 of 1953	Operational	Coal Creek Museum, Korumburra, Vic.	Ex-Bingera Mill. Withdrawn in 1972 and later saved for preservation, Kolan / Count Strzelecki now steams around the tourist circuit at the Coal Creek Community Park & Museum, Korumburra, Victoria, – a long way from the tropical canefields!
8		0-6-2T	Bundaberg Fowler 8 of 1953	Stored dismantled	Narangba	Ex-Proserpine Mill. No.8 had been under restoration in the 1980's as an apprentice training project at a Queensland sugar mill, but the project was abandoned when the loco was fully dismantled due to an industry downturn. The dismantled components of No.8 were later privately purchased and are now stored at Narangba.
Perry Engineering Co Ltd, Adelaide
2' Gauge
Carstairs		0-6-2T	Perry 9351.34.1 of 1934	Stored	Home Hill	Ex-Inkerman Mill, Home Hill. Carstairs was displayed at the Inkerman Mill for some years. It is apparent that it was converted to oil-firing at some stage, with the oil bunker forming the cab rear. I understand Carstairs is now privately owned at a Home Hill location, where viewing is by appointment only.
Chiverton		0-6-2T	Perry 6671.38.1 of 1938	Display	Pete’s Hobby Railway Junee, NSW	Ex-Kalamia Mill. 'Chiverton' had been plinthed at Ayr prior to being obtained for private preservation in 1975 and transported to Loftus, where it received gradual repainting for conservation and display. The owner moved to Junee in 2015 and Chiverton is now stored / displayed at his private ‘Pete’s Hobby Railway’.
8	Photo required	0-6-2T	Perry 8403.39.1 of 1939	Privately owned	Romsey, Victoria	Proserpine Mill No. 8 was purchased privately in 1974, together with Thomas Green 0-4-2ST ‘Tilly’ (219 of 1895). They were in private preservation at Strathewen, Victoria, in 1975 and it is understood that they have since been relocated to Romsey, Victoria.
Adelaide		0-4-2T	Perry 8967.39.1 of 1939	Operational	Bennett Brook Railway, Whiteman Park, WA	Ex-Inkerman Mill, Home Hill. ‘Adelaide’ was retired from service in 1966 and placed in a playground at Home Hill. In 1990 it was purchased by a Bennett Brook Railway member, Malcolm Thompson, who arranged the loco’s transport to West Australia and its restoration to operation, which was completed in 1996. Malcolm renamed the locomotive ‘Betty Thompson’ after his wife, and it regularly operates at the Bennett Brook Railway.
6		0-6-2T	Perry 2382.41.1 of 1941	Workshop	Lake Macquarie Light Railway, Toronto, NSW	Ex-North Eton Mill. No.6 had been privately owned and occasionally steamed at a site in the Megalong Valley, near Blackheath, NSW. No.6 was purchased by a new private owner and moved to Toronto on 17 August 2001 together with sister North Eton No.7 (Perry B/N 6634.52.1 of 1952) which had also been at Megalong Valley. The LMLR Website shows that North Eton Mill No.6 is now under restoration to operation.
9		0-4-2T	Perry 9737.45.1 of 1945	Operational	Gisborne Steam Park, Victoria	Ex-Millaquin Mill, Bundaberg. Millaquin Mill No.9 was originally supplied to South Johnstone Sugar Mill where it operated as No.6. It later became No.9 at the Bundaberg Sugar Company's Millaquin Mill, being re-numbered to ‘9’ by the simple expedient of turning the brass cabside number '6' upside-down! 1990 it was donated to the Gisborne Vintage Machinery Society, where members completed its restoration to operation in 1994, and it can now operates over a 100m stretch of track at their Gisborne Steam Park.
2 Skipper		0-6-2T	Perry 1850.46.1 of 1946	Display	National Railway Museum, Adelaide, SA	Ex-Qunaba Mill, Bundaberg and earlier Millaquin Mill, Bundaberg. No.2 ‘Skipper’ is preserved at the National Railway Museum, Adelaide (NRM) in recognition that its builder Perry Engineering was based in Adelaide. It was displayed for several years loaded onto a flatcar within the 'goods shed' portion of the NRM, but in 2003 it was repainted and placed on display at the museum entrance.
3 Flash		0-6-2T	Perry 6160.48.1 of 1948	Display	The Workshops, Ipswich	Ex-Qunaba Mill, Bundaberg. No.3 'Flash' had been in store at the Queensland Museum, Brisbane until moved to the new Ipswich Railway Workshops Museum on 25 September 2001. It is now displayed within the exhibits hall.
R. D. Rex		0-4-2T	Perry 7650.49.1 of 1949	Stored	ANGRMS, Woodford	Ex-Douglas Shire Tramway, later taken over by Mossman Mill. R. D Rex was plinthed at Mossman from approximately 1961 but presumably the tropical climate caused deterioration and the locomotive was donated to ANGRMS in 1975. It has been stored at their Woodford site since 1979, together with various other locomotives rescued by ANGRMS.
6 Tully		0-6-2T	Perry 7967.49.1 of 1949	Operational	ILRMS, Albion Park, NSW	Ex-Tully Mill. No. 6 'Tully' was replaced by diesel locos by 1965 after a relatively short working life. It was initially plinthed at the El Arish Country Club but inevitably the tropical climate took its toll, and the deteriorating loco was made available for sale in 1972. It was purchased by the Illawarra Light Railway Museum Society (ILRMS) and transferred to NSW for restoration, which was completed in 1987. The immaculately restored and presented No.6 ‘Tully’ now regularly performs at ILRMS operating days.
7		0-6-2T	Perry 7967.50.3 of 1950	Operational	Heyfield, Victoria	Ex-Babinda Mill. No.7 is privately owned at Heyfield in Victoria’s Gippsland region where it has resided since the 1970's. It has been restored to operation in an attractive blue livery, and has made occasional appearances at local traction engine rallies.
1 Delta		0-6-2T	Perry 7967.50.4 of 1950	Display	Puffing Billy Museum, Menzies Creek, Vic.	Ex-Qunaba Mill, Bundaberg. Qunaba Mill No.1 is an exhibit at the Puffing Billy Preservation Society's museum at Menzies Creek. My visit of October 2002 found No.1 Delta dismantled and under overhaul, but it has since been restored and placed in display within the new museum building at Menzies Creek.
( - )		0-6-2T	Perry 2601.51.1 of 1951	Workshop	Bennett Brook Railway, Whiteman Park, WA	Ex-Marian Mill. This locomotive arrived at the Bennett Brook Railway in WA on 24 June 2009 following a change of ownership. The Marian Mill Perry had previously been operational at ‘Melaleuca Station’, Chinderah, NSW, a railway-themed roadside attraction featuring local produce, a picnic ground with farmyard animals and a steam train ride through the gardens.
7		0-4-2T	Perry 2714.51.1 of 1951	Operational	Lake Macquarie Light Railway, Toronto, NSW	Ex-Mourilyan Mill. This locomotive was purchased for private preservation in 1972 and restored to operation in the Sydney suburb of St Ives. It was leased to the Bulahdelah Logging Railway from 1987 to 1996 prior to overhaul by the NSWRTM Thirlmere workshops in 1997-98. In more recent times Mourilyan Mill No.7 has been based at the Lake Macquarie Light Railway.
Perry / 5		0-6-2T	Perry 5643.51.1 of 1951	Operational	ANGRMS, Woodford	Ex-Bingera Mill. No.5 was part of the collection at the Goulburn Museum of Historic Engines in the 1970's, but in more recent years has been operational at the Dreamworld Railway at Coomera on the Gold Coast, Qld. Here it was often known as ‘Perry’. In 2013, the Dreamworld theme park scaled back its railway's steam program by replacing most of its operations with a steam outline locomotive. No.5 ‘Perry’ was donated to ANGRMS in 2014 and transferred to their Woodford Railway.
7		0-6-2T	Perry 6634.52.1 of 1952	Operational	Lake Macquarie Light Railway, Toronto, NSW	Ex-North Eton Mill. No.7 had been privately owned (but never steamed) at a rural site in the Megalong Valley, near Blackheath, NSW. No.7 was subsequently purchased by a new private owner and moved to Toronto on 17 August 2001, together with sister loco North Eton No.6 (Perry B/N 2382.41.1 of 1941) which had also been at Megalong Valley. North Eton Mill No.7 was the first of the pair to be restored and now operates at the private Light Macquarie Light Railway.

( - )		0-4-0T	Barclay 1419 of 1915	Stored, Dismantled	Echuca, Vic	Ex-Qunaba Mill, Bundaberg. The Qunaba Mill Barclay locomotive is now privately owned and stored dismantled at private site near Echuca. The owner advised that the boiler is beyond restoration, however a spare Baldwin boiler has been obtained to provide a replacement.
Decauville, France
2' Gauge
Frenchy		0-4-2T	Decauville 246 of 1897	Workshop	Bredgar & Wormshill Light Railway, Kent, UK	Ex-Qunaba Mill, Bundaberg. ‘Frenchy’ was in private ownership at Moama, NSW before being sold and exported to the UK in 1996 for private preservation. Frenchy has since been fully restored in the UK and returned to steam in late 2006; apparently the locomotive now wears the number 7 and nameplate ‘Victory’.
7		0-4-2T	Decauville 247 of 1897	Stored	ANGRMS, Woodford	Ex-Invicta Mill, Giru, and earlier Mulgrave Mill. No.7 ‘Lord Lamington’ had been plinthed in a park in Giru until donated to the Australian Narrow Gauge Railway Museum Society (ANGRMS) in 1981. It is stored awaiting restoration.
( - )	Photo required	0-4-0T	Decauville 399 of 1904	Buried!	Millaquin Mill (near Bundaberg)	Boiler exhumed during January 2000; frames believed buried nearby. Decauville b/n 399 originally worked at the Tamanoa Mill, Fiji. In 1923 it was purchased by a Bundaberg machinery dealer and placed in storage at Millaquin Mill, Bundaberg. It was subsequently abandoned and buried on site in 1937.
9	Photo required	0-4-2T	Decauville 454 of 1906	?	Tynong North, Victoria	Ex-Mulgrave Mill, Gordonvale. Mulgrave Mill No.9 is apparently privately owned at Tynong North, Victoria; further information or photos are welcome.
Hudswell Clarke & Co Ltd, Leeds, England
2' Gauge

Homebush is preserved operational at the Victoria Mill, Ingham, where it occasionally hauls a small passenger train around the mill railway system. Between use, Homebush and its train of two historical toast-rack cars are displayed under a weather roof on a siding at the mill entrance.
Maroochy		0-4-2T	Hudswell Clarke 1078 of 1914	?	Unknown	Ex-Moreton Mill, Nambour. Maroochy spent her entire working life at the Moreton Mill, Nambour, in the eponymous Shire of Maroochy. Maroochy was withdrawn from cane haulage duties at Moreton Mill by 1963. The loco was saved for preservation and displayed at the former Gilltraps Auto Museum, Kirra Beach. It subsequently passed through a number of owners and locations, but the years have not been kind to Maroochy. Indeed its current status and location is unknown and it is feared as scrapped; further information is welcome.

Townsville		0-6-0	Hudswell Clarke 1099 of 1915	Display	Australian Sugar Heritage Centre, Mourilyan	Ex-Victoria Mill, Ingham.  Townsville was donated by CSR for preservation in 1977 and is now displayed at the Australian Sugar Heritage Centre at Mourilyan. This museum is well worth a visit with a variety of exhibits and resources highlighting the technical, social and economic history of the Australian Sugar Industry and its contribution to regional development.
6 Pyramid		0-6-0T	Hudswell Clarke 1521 of 1924	Stored	ANGRMS, Woodford	Ex-Mulgrave Mill, Gordonvale. Pyramid was retired in 1955 and plinthed at Mareeba in 1959 until donated to ANGRMS in 1976. It is now stored at Woodford in company with several other locos that have been saved for posterity but are awaiting restoration.
5		0-6-0	Hudswell Clarke 1548 of 1924	Operational	Echuca, Victoria	Ex-Macknade Mill. Macknade Mill No.5 was donated in 1977 by CSR to the Van Diemen Light Railway Society, who displayed the loco at their museum in Don, Tasmania. In 1997 it was sold to two Victorian-based enthusiasts and moved to a private site near Echuca, where it has since been overhauled and returned to operation.

1	Photo required	0-6-0	Hudswell Clarke 1653 of 1935	Stored	Richmond Light Railway Headcorn, UK	Ex-Macknade Mill. Macknade Mill No.1 had been plinthed in an Ingham park until 1980. In 1983 it was privately purchased and moved to Trinity Beach, Cairns where it was dismantled and a start made on overhaul. Alas this initiative apparently stalled and by 1996 the dismantled components had been transferred to the owner’s private site at Jungara (near Cairns). At some stage the loco was exported to the UK and joined the private Richmond Light Railway collection at Headcorn, Kent.
Melbourne		0-6-0	Hudswell Clarke 1701 of 1938	Operational	ANGRMS, Woodford	Ex-Victoria Mill, Ingham. This locomotive was created in 1956 by CSR Victoria Mill fitters combining the best parts of three earlier Hudswell Clarke engines. 'Melbourne' was donated by CSR to ANGRMS in 1976 and has since been restored to operation at the Woodford Railway.
5		0-4-2T	Hudswell Clarke 1705 of 1938 (also Fowler 22752 of 1938)	Stored	ANGRMS, Woodford	Ex-South Johnstone Mill. This loco was ordered in 1938 from John Fowler & Co as similar to an earlier Fowler loco supplied to the mill, but Fowler were only building internal combustion locos by this date and so the plans were passed to Hudswell Clarke, who built the loco under licence. South Johnstone Mill No.5 has been stored awaiting restoration at the ANGRMS Woodford site for many years.
Cairns		0-6-0	Hudswell Clarke 1706 of 1939	Operational	ILRMS, Albion Park, NSW	Ex-Victoria Mill, Ingham. Cairns is preserved as an operating exhibit by the Illawarra Light Railway & Museum Society at their Albion Park base.
Sydney		0-6-0	Hudswell Clarke 1838 of 1950	Stored	Kingswood, NSW	Ex-Victoria Mill, Ingham. Sydney had been operational on Bally Hooley tourist train duties at Mossman Mill during the 1990's 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).
6		0-6-0	Hudswell Clarke 1862 of 1952	Awaiting overhaul	Timbertown Heritage Railway, Wauchope, NSW	Ex-Macknade Mill, near Ingham.

Torpedo		0-4-2T	Hunslet 1187 of 1915	Operational	Pete’s Hobby Railway Junee, NSW	Ex-Inkerman Mill, Home Hill. 'Torpedo' was plinthed at Bowen prior to being obtained for private preservation in 1975 and transported to the Sydney suburb of Lotus. This locomotive was overhauled in 2002 including a full re-tube, new side tanks and added hungry boards for wood firing. The owner has since relocated to Junee where a private hobby railway has been established, with Torpedo as the operating steam loco.
Invicta		4-6-0T	Hunslet 1215 of 1916	Operational	War Office Locomotive Society, UK	Ex-Invicta Mill, Giru. This locomotive is one of 15 former British Army ‘War Office’ Hunslet locomotives imported for the Australian sugar industry from war surplus stocks. ‘Invicta’ had been in private ownership at Capalaba (Brisbane suburbs) until sold to UK preservationists in late 2005 and exported. In early 2006 it went on display at ‘Locomotion’, the UK's National Railway Museum outpost in Shildon. ‘Invicta’ has since been thoroughly overhauled and returned to service in immaculate condition as WD No.303.

2' Gauge
3		0-4-2T	Dick, Kerr & Co. built 1910	Dismantled, Overhaul?	Echuca, Vic.	Marian Mill No.3 was plinthed in a park after retirement. At some stage it was obtained by a private owner, joining his interesting collection of steam machinery on a rural site near Echuca, Victoria. The owner kindly permitted me to view his collection on 23 March 2005; at that stage the loco had been completely dismantled and stripped for overhaul, with the frames and other major components being prepared for cleaning. The boiler, wheels etc. were stored nearby, and the owner advised that the boiler was restorable.
Valdora		0-4-0T	Dick, Kerr & Co built 1893	Display	Nambour Museum	Valdora is a rare and unusual locomotive, being one of only fifty or so railway locomotives constructed by Dick, Kerr & Co. Its career was spent first at Racecourse Mill, Mackay before moving to Moreton Mill, Nambour in 1937. Valdora was plinthed in a Nambour park in 1964. When I first encountered Valdora in 2004 it was plinthed at the Nambour live steam association park where it resided under a securely-caged weather roof. Valdora has since been relocated to the Nambour Museum.
The Baldwin Locomotive Works, USA
2' Gauge
1		0-4-2T	Baldwin 10533 of 1889	Operational	Lake Macquarie Light Railway, Toronto, NSW	Ex-Fairymead Mill. This handsome little locomotive is the survivor of three Baldwin engines imported for use at Fairymead Mill, near Bundaberg. The three Fairymead Baldwin locos were withdrawn around 1956 and two were scrapped. Fortunately Fairymead No.1 was spared this fate, later being plinthed at the nearby beachside town of Bargara. In March 1972, Fairymead No.1 moved to the Goulburn Steam Museum. It was later sold for private preservation. Around 1992 the owner of Fairymead No.1 contracted the NSWRTM Thirlmere to fully overhaul the loco for restoration to operation. Fairymead No.1 subsequently moved to the Lake Macquarie Light Railway (LMLR), a private 2' railway near Toronto.
5		4-6-0	Baldwin 45215 of 1917	Operational	Dreamworld, Coomera	Ex-Racecourse Mill, Mackay. Of the 600 preserved steam locomotives in Australia, Baldwin B/N 45215 has led perhaps the most varied and contrasting career. It was built for the trench railways of World War 1’s western front, later becoming war surplus material and sold into the sugar cane fields in tropical Queensland. Finally, it was rebuilt into ‘Wild West’ format for use on the Dreamworld theme park railway; a remarkable transformation and change of fate from a tool of war to amusement park ride.
4 / Felin Hen		2-6-2T	Baldwin 46828 of 1917	Operational	Tacot des Lacs, France	Ex-Fairymead Mill. This historic locomotive was built in World War 1 as US Army Transport Corps (USATC) No. 5104. After the war it was sold to the Penrhyn slate quarries in North Wales, acquiring the name 'Felin Hen’. It was shipped to Brisbane in 1940 for use at Fairymead Mill, Bundaberg. The loco was rebuilt to 0-6-2T configuration in 1956 by removing the front pony truck. Felin Hen was plinthed in a South Bundaberg park in 1969 but later removed for restoration. In 2002 it was sold to a French group for restoration to original World War 1 condition; this work was completed in 2011 and Felin Hen can now be seen in operation at the Tacot des Lacs railway in France.

The remaining locomotive became known as "Shay" at Nambour and lasted in service until 1960. Fortunately it was saved for preservation and displayed at the entrance to Moreton Mill for many years. After a period of storage at The Workshops railway museum, Ipswich, Shay has now returned to Nambour for display in the Nambour Museum. Here it has received a full cosmetic restoration to display condition.

Stella		0-6-0T	Krauss 3423 of 1897	Workshop	Campbelltown Steam & Machinery Museum, NSW	Ex-Gin Gin Mill, Wallaville. Stella had been operable at the Goulburn Museum of Historic Engines in the 1970's and early 1980’s. By 1989 it had been dismantled for an overhaul which apparently did not proceed. In 2000 it was sold to a private collector and moved to Echuca. A further change of ownership around 2019 has seen the dismantled loco move to the Campbelltown Steam & Machinery Museum in Sydney’s south, where hopefully the loco will be restored and reassembled.
Moreton		0-6-0T	Krauss 4687 of 1901	Operational (diesel)	The Ginger Factory, Yandina	Ex-Moreton Mill, Nambour. ‘Moreton’ spent its entire working life at Moreton Central Sugar Mill. It had been retired by 1967 and in that year was plinthed in Currie Park, Nambour. It was acquired for private ownership in 1972 and displayed at the Brisbane Exhibition in 1978. In 1988 ‘Moreton’ found a new role heading a tourist train at The Ginger Factory, Yandina - with propulsion provided by a diesel tender!

The derelict remains of Krauss 6611 are privately owned by a Sydney-based enthusiast / collector and were initially based at the Marsden Museum of Historic Engines, Goulburn NSW from June 1972 to 1975. I believe these remains later resided at a private site in Gymea, in company with Krauss 2589, Krauss 6927 & Maffei 3677. More recently these Krauss locomotive remains have moved to a rural property at Woodhouselee, near Crookwell, NSW.
