E1		E	4-6-0	Beyer Peacock 4967 of 1907	Plinthed	Deloraine	E1 is the survivor of two locomotives originally in this class, which were intended for heavy freight working.  Whilst the TGR E class 4-6-0's was built in 1907, new locomotive proposals were submitted by Beyer, Peacock & Co as early as 1899 and were for a very similar looking 4-8-0. (59)  Both E1 & E2 were converted to superheating between 1914 and 1916.  (42)  E1 is now plinthed in Deloraine complete with most non-ferrous cab fittings and apparently well guarded and maintained by the local Apex club. A plaque affixed to the locomotive claims that it is E2, and reads: "This locomotive was built for the Tasmanian Government Railway by Beyer Peacock & Co., England in 1907 at a cost of (Pounds) 5,370. It was last used in 1962 and then stored until presented to the Deloraine Municipality during the Railway Centenary in February 1971 and was sited by the Deloraine Apex Club on the 24 July 1971. The rail line from Launceston to Deloraine was the first constructed in Tasmania and was opened on the 10th February 1871. Total working weight - 72 Ton. Tractive power at 85% capacity - 19.947 Lbs." This photo shows E1 plinthed at Deloraine on 27 April 2003. (The TGR E-class locos are similar to the Silverton Tramway 'A' class, of the same builder and wheel arrangement; refer NSW Industrial locos.) (1)
A4		A	4-4-0	Beyer Peacock 3392 of 1892	Workshop	Don River Railway, Don	A4 is one of 8 A-class express passenger locomotives built by Beyer Peacock & Co, and later rebuilt by TGR with a higher-pitch Belpaire boiler and extended smokebox. A4 was selected by TGR to haul four royal trains.  (42) All A class were withdrawn in the very early 1950's and stored derelict at Turners Marsh.  Seven were scrapped but it was not until a few years later that A4 was rescued for restoration (59), and was plinthed from 1960 in Launceston City Park wearing an attractive apple green livery. It was acquired by the Don River Railway in 1990 (42) and displayed at Don until the late 1990s. Fortunately A4 survived the 30-odd years in Launceston City Park with all plates and virtually all non-ferrous fittings intact. (59)  Recently A4 has been dismantled for restoration to working order, using a spare boiler which is available at Don. (1) The spare boiler for the A was of late construction and very low mileage. (59) This photo shows A4 displayed at Don in May 1993 (second from the right).
C1		C	2-6-0	Beyer Peacock 2509 of 1885	Display	West Coast Pioneers Memorial Museum, Zeehan	C1 is the first of 27 original members of this class supplied by Beyer Peacock and Co. for goods train working; a 28th class member was later acquired secondhand. (42)  This Beyer Peacock design found buyers in many Australian states; similar locos include the SAR Y-class, and the WAGR G-class locos. Private operators ordered yet more examples, including the Silverton Tramway Y-class. (1) Some members of the TGR C-class were modified and rebuilt to the CC and CCS classes (42), while C1 has an extended smokebox with vertical front which is different from the original sloping front. (59) This photo shows C1 displayed under a weather roof at the West Coast Pioneers memorial Museum at Zeehan in May 1993. (1)
C22		C	2-6-0	Beyer Peacock 4414 of 1902	Workshop	Tasmanian Transport Museum, Glenorchy, Hobart	C22 is the most original of the preserved TGR C-class, featuring a sloping smokebox front. (59)  C22 was restored to working order in 1983 and used at the Tasmanian Transport Museum, but is currently under repair once again.  This photo of 30 April 2003 shows the frame of C22 under overhaul at Glenorchy. (1)
CCS23	(Photo required)	CCS	2-6-0	Beyer Peacock 4415 of 1902	Workshop	Don River Railway, Don	CCS23 is a rebuild of C-class loco 23, one of four such 'CCS class' locos rebuilt by TGR between 1924 and 1928 including Belpaire boilers, new cylinders and Walschaerts valve gear. (42)  CCS23 had been preserved operational at Don but is currently under overhaul.
CCS25		CCS	2-6-0	Beyer Peacock 4417 of 1902	Operational	Don River Railway, Don	CCS25 is a superheated rebuild of C-class loco 25 (see also CCS23 above). This photo of May 1993 shows CCS25 in operation at the VDRS.
Q5		Q	4-8-2	Perry 241 of 1923	Display	Tasmanian Transport Museum, Glenorchy, Hobart	The 19 members of the Q-class goods locomotives were built in batches by Perry Engineering (SA), Walkers Limited (Qld) and Clyde Engineering (NSW) between 1922 and 1945, with the final 2 Clyde locomotives assembled by TGR due to wartime construction delays (42). Q5 was retired in 1962 and is now displayed in unlined black livery at the TTM, Glenorchy, as seen in this photograph of 30 April 2003.  Regrettably, the 4 sister 'R-class' passenger 4-6-2 locomotives are now extinct. The R-class were built by Perry Engineering in 1923 and for a time, two locos wore classic 1930's 'upturned bathtub' streamlining, similar to the Victorian Railways S-class. (1)  The Q & R classes also had a sister class designed at the same time with some interchangeability of parts - this would have been the 4-6-4T S class, but none were ever ordered. (59)
ASG		ASG	4-8-2 + 2-8-4	Various	Components only	Various	The Australian Standard Garratt (ASG) was proposed and designed by the Commonwealth Land Transport Board in 1942 in response to the urgent need for powerful locomotives for the 3' 6" gauge railways of Australia during WW2.  The design team was supervised by the WAGR Chief Mechanical Engineer (ref (5) pp 121) and the ASG bears some similarity to the WAGR S-class including the distinctive boiler cowling. (1)  The ASG was not very successful and required considerable remediation. (60)  14 ASG locomotives worked for the TGR. (42)  While none are preserved in Tasmania, an ASG boiler survives at the New Norfolk depot of the Derwent Valley Railway, as seen in this photo of May 2003.  In addition, four of the distinctive ASG water tanks can be seen at the Don River Railway workshops. (1)  Sister loco G33 survives in Victoria and is listed under the Victorian Industrial Locomotives section.
M1		M	4-6-2	Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn 7427 of 1951	Stored	Derwent Valley Railway, New Norfolk	M1 was originally numbered M7 prior to the 1957 rebuilding by the TGR of four "M" class members to "Ma" class. (7) Both the M & H classes had roller bearings on all axles and throughout the motion - the only Australian classes to be completely fitted out with roller bearings.  These locos also had SCOA-P wheels like the VR R & J, QR BB18-1/4.  (59)  M1 was the first of TGR's post-war locos to be disposed of and was originally offered to Westbury Municipality and towed there in February 1971.  She was still in the siding there in August 1971, untouched, and was soon after transferred to Ross, where it was plinthed.  (59) This photo pf May 1993 shows M1 plinthed at Ross in Hawthorn green livery. (1)  M1 was subsequently acquired by the DVR and moved to New Norfolk in May 2000, and remained stored in the yard at New Norfolk as at April 2003. (1)
M2		M	4-6-2	Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn 7430 of 1951	Display	Tanfield Steam Railway, Gateshead upon Tyne, England	M2 was originally numbered M10 prior to the 1957 rebuilding by the TGR of four "M" class members to "Ma" class. (59)  M2 had been plinthed at the seaside town of Stanley on Tasmania's north coast, but inevitably deteriorated in the salty air.  M2 became available for removal in the late 1990's but apparently there wasn't much local interest in the locomotive due to its poor condition. M2 was sold for preservation in the UK as an example of locomotives constructed in the UK for export customers. (1) This photo is kindly provided by Mark Smithers and shows M2 awaiting restoration at the Tanfield Steam Railway, UK, in 2000.  Melanie Dennis has kindly provided a detailed history of M2.
M3		M	4-6-2	Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn 7423 of 1951	Stored	Don River Railway, Don	M3 retained its original number during the 1957 rebuilding by the TGR of four "M" class members to "Ma" class. (7) M3 is now preserved as an exhibit at the VDRS, Don and displayed on one of the turntable roads, as seen (behind and partially obscured by H7) in this photo of 8 May 2003. M3 is one of four M / MA class locos preserved at this excellent museum and workshop. (1)
M4		M	4-6-2	Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn 7424 of 1951	Operational	Don River Railway, Don	M4 retained its original number during the 1957 rebuilding by the TGR of four "M" class members to "Ma" class. (7) M4 is now preserved operational at the VDRS, Don and occasionally ventures onto the main line on rail tours. M4 is seen outside the running shed at Don in this photo of 24 March 2004. (1)
M5		M	4-6-2	Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn 7425 of 1951	Operational	Tasmanian Transport Museum, Glenorchy, Hobart.	M5 retained its original number during the 1957 rebuilding by the TGR of four "M" class members to "Ma" class. (7) M5 was donated to the Tasmanian Transport Museum in November 1974 and is preserved in operational condition. This photo of M5 was kindly provided by Stuart Dix.
M6		M	4-6-2	Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn 7429 of 1951	Operational	Bellarine Peninsular Railway, Queenscliff, Victoria	M6 was originally numbered M9 prior to the 1957 rebuilding by the TGR of four "M" class members to "Ma" class; the whole M/MA re-numbering hinged on this one change as it meant simply inverting the 9 to become a 6. (59)  M6 is now preserved operational at the BPR, and is seen in this photo running around its train at Drysdale during Easter 1995. (1)
MA1		MA	4-6-2	Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn 7428 of 1951	Stored	Derwent Valley Railway, New Norfolk	MA1 was originally numbered M8 prior to the 1957 rebuilding by the TGR of four "M" class members to "MA" class. (7) The Ma-class was featured ex-Australian Standard Garratt (ASG) driving wheels and ex-B & C-class pony wheels, which have a smaller diameter and were considered better suited for freight work. (42)  The MA conversions also had altered weight distribution to put more weight on the driving wheels.  New sandboxes for forward running were added on the footplate, beside the smokebox.  The original sandbox in the dome was retained for reverse running.  MA1 was the trial conversion in 1957, while MA2-4 were the production conversions (1957-58). (59)  MA1 had been plinthed in a park at Granton and was in need of rescue, as seen in this photo of May 1993.   MA1 was acquired by the Derwent Valley Railway in mid-2000 and moved to their New Norfolk depot, where it remained in store as at May 2003. (1)
MA2		MA	4-6-2	Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn 7421 of 1951	Operational	Don River Railway, Don	MA2 was originally numbered M1 prior to the 1957 rebuilding by the TGR of four "M" class members to "MA" class. (7) The MA-class was featured ex-Australian Standard Garratt (ASG) driving wheels and ex-B & C-class pony wheels, which have a smaller diameter and were considered better suited for freight work. (42) MA2 is now preserved operational at the VDRS, Don, and is seen outside the running shed in this photo of May 2003. (1)
MA3		MA	4-6-2	Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn 7426 of 1951	Plinthed	Margate - Roadside Market	MA3 was originally numbered M6 prior to the 1957 rebuilding by the TGR of four "M" class members to "MA" class. (7) The MA-class was featured ex-Australian Standard Garratt (ASG) driving wheels and ex-B & C-class pony wheels, which have a smaller diameter and were considered better suited for freight work. (42)  MA3 is now plinthed outside the Margate market (south of Hobart), which replicates a railway station and features cafes & other market stalls, despite the fact that the railway never reached Margate! (1)  The carriages comprise a former 'Tasman Limited' articulated carriage (ACS1), 'SS' suburban cars and a 'DP' railmotor. (59)  MA3 is seen in unlined black livery in this view photo of 30 April 2003.   I noticed an earlier post office red livery evident underneath the black, and that the tender platework was beginning to rot through.  The piston rods were also missing. (1)
MA4		MA	4-6-2	Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn 7422 of 1951	Display	Don River Railway, Don	MA4 was originally numbered M2 prior to the 1957 rebuilding by the TGR of four "M" class members to "MA" class. (7) The MA-class was featured ex-Australian Standard Garratt (ASG) driving wheels and ex-B & C-class pony wheels, which have a smaller diameter and were considered better suited for freight work. (42) MA4 was the last MA class to work for TGR: it was kept at Launceston on steam-cleaning duties until someone let the water get too low and the firebox was damaged in the early 1970's. (59)  MA4 is now statically displayed as the 'gatekeeper' at the VDRS, Don, as seen in this photo on 8 May 2003. (1)
H1		H	4-8-2	Vulcan Foundry 5949 of 1951	Display	Tasmanian Transport Museum, Glenorchy, Hobart.	Eight members of the H-class were built by Vulcan Foundry for goods train working on the TGR. (42)  Both the M & H classes had roller bearings on all axles and throughout the motion - the only Australian classes to be completely fitted out with roller bearings.  These locos also had SCOA-P wheels like the VR R & J, QR BB18-1/4.  (59)  The H-class originally wore emerald green livery, but four members were later painted in post office red. (42)  H1 is now statically displayed at the TTM as seen in this photo of 30 April 2003.
H2	(Photo required)	H	4-8-2	Vulcan Foundry 5950 of 1951	Workshop	Derwent Valley Railway, New Norfolk	H2 was painted post office red by TGR for passenger train working, and was also used in the railway centenary celebrations in 1971. (42)  H2 was retired in October 1975, and after preservation was based at the Cadbury chocolate factory (Claremont, Hobart) during the 1980's for use on DVR tour trains. H2 was repainted Cadbury's purple during this period. (1)  The Cadbury's branch has since been lifted, and the DVR base moved to New Norfolk where H2 is currently under overhaul.
H5		H	4-8-2	Vulcan Foundry 5953 of 1951	Plinthed	Hillwood	H5 is privately owned and plinthed at the Hillwood Strawberry Farm, a tourist attraction in the Launceston area.  This photo of H5 at Hillwood was kindly provided by Stuart Dix.
H6		H	4-8-2	Vulcan Foundry 5954 of 1951	Plinthed	Perth	H2 and H6 were the first TGR steam locos in the TGR red livery, which they acquired in 1956 for working the 2nd. Division Western Line Fast Mixed. (59) H6 is now plinthed in a park at Perth (south of Launceston) but is without a tender. H6 wear post office red livery as seen in this rather poor photograph taken at dusk on 27 April 2003.  (1)
H7		H	4-8-2	Vulcan Foundry 5955 of 1951	Display	Don River Railway, Don	H7 is statically displayed around the turntable at the VDRS, Don, and had been recently repainted when I took this photo on 8 May 2003.  H7's axle load is apparently too heavy for the track at the VDRS 'Don River Railway' operating line, and thus restoration to operation by the VDRS is not anticipated.
H8		H	4-8-2	Vulcan Foundry 5956 of 1951	Components	Invermay Rail Heritage Precinct, Launceston.	The TGR was taken over by Australian National Railway in 1978, which appears to have prompted a cleanup of railway assets.  At this time H2, H3, H4, H5 and H8 were in storage at Launceston and quickly came up for acquisition. Whilst H2 and H5 were preserved, unfortunately H3 and H4 were scrapped in early 1979. (45)  In addition, the boiler and cab were cut from H8 but the complete chassis went to the Don River Railway at Coles Beach, where the rear frame extension and rear truck were later cut off for reasons unknown.  Two tender bodies were cut the same time as the three H class.  (There were never any spare H or M boilers.) (59)  The remnants of H8 are seen stored at Coles Beach in this photo of May 1993.  H8 remains were later moved to Inveresk in late 2001 and are now displayed on the weighbridge shed in the restored Invermay Rail Heritage Precinct.

K1	(Photo required)	K	0-4-0+0-4-0	Beyer Peacock 5292 of 1909	Workshops	Welsh Highland Railway, Wales, United Kingdom	K1 and sister K2 were the first Beyer-Garratt locomotives in the world, having been built by Beyer Peacock for the TGR for use on the North East Dundas Tramway from Zeehan to Williamsford. The preserved K1 contains some components of sister K2, and was repurchased by Beyer Peacock in 1947 after lying in storage at Zeehan, Tasmania since about 1939. (7) K1 was sold to the Ffestiniog Railway in 1966 after closure of the Beyer Peacock works (59), and displayed at the NRM, York during the 1980's. (1)  K1 is now under restoration to operation (including a new boiler) for use on the Welsh Highland Railway. For more details, refer to this K1 website.
G1	-	G	0-4-2	Sharp Stewart ? of ?	Scrapped?	North Richmond, NSW?	The G-class locomotives were built as 0-4-2T locos by Sharp Stewart, Glasgow for use by the TGR on the North East Dundas Tramway from Zeehan to Williamsford. This locomotive was the second G1, having replaced the first G1 which destroyed itself and killed its crew in a boiler explosion at Zeehan in 1897. G1 and G2 were later sold into the Queensland sugar industry at the Central Isis Sugar Mill, where they converted to tender locomotives and numbered 9 and 10, but also known as 'Tassie A' and 'Tassie B' and withdrawn in 1962. (7) The two G class locos had been given new, larger boilers whilst in Queensland. (59) These locos apparently passed into private ownership / preservation, but were dismantled and apparently scrapped in North Richmond, NSW in the late 1980's. Further information or photos welcome.
G2	-	G	0-4-2	Sharp Stewart ? of 1897	Scrapped?	North Richmond, NSW?	Refer also to commentary for G1 above.  This loco became 'Tassie B' at Central Isis Sugar Mill but was apparently scrapped in late 1980's at North Richmond, NSW. (7)  Any further information about the fate of these 2 locos, or photos, are welcome. (While G1 and G2 may be gone, the NE Dundas Tramway is today an excellent bushwalking trail through Tasmanian rainforest national parkland, especially the 10km section from Williamsford to Montezuma Falls.)   (1)
H2	-	H	0-4-0T	Krauss 2589 of 1914	Components	NSW?	One of four similar small Krauss locomotives adopted second-hand into the TGR 'H-class' and used around Zeehan on the Tasmanian west coast. (7) Photos suggest this loco was similar to Krauss 4087 below. (1)  H2 was later sold to the Corrimal-Balgownie Coal Co. (Illawarra, NSW) where it had been become unused by 1933, and was cut up for scrap in 1956 but some components were found on in 1972 and 1973 by the ILRMS. (43)  Any further information about what was found and where these remain are welcome.

(59) EBR No.6 is now displayed outdoors under a weather roof at the excellent West Coast Pioneers Memorial Museum at Zeehan, as seen in this photo of 8 May 2003. (1)
8	(photo required)	-	4-8-0	Dubs 3856 of 1900	Operational	Don River Railway, Don	(Refer also to the notes for No.6 above.) EBR No.8 was plinthed on the Burnie foreshore in Feb. 1968 (59), but was rescued by the VDRS Don during the 1980's and restored by extensive overhaul through the late 1980s and early 1990's. (1)  During restoration, No.8 has been converted back to coal firing and repainted black, with the 1960's valences and deflectors removed. (59)

1 Abt		-	0-4-2RT	Dubs 3369 of 1896	Operational	West Coast Wilderness Railway, Queenstown	The five Abt-rack locomotives of the Mt Lyell Mining & Railway Co. were used on their private railway from the docks at Strahan to the copper mines at Queenstown on Tasmania's West Coast. This railway route was closed in 1963 and dismantled but was totally rebuilt and officially reopened over the entire route as a tourist railway on 3 April 2003. 1 Abt was donated to the West Coast Pioneers Museum, Zeehan by the Mt Lyell Mining & Railway Company after closure of the line, and was displayed at Zeehan alongside the other railway exhibits.  In about 1998 it was removed (under loan) and restored to operation for the West Coast Wilderness Railway, including a new welded boiler.  The five Abt locos were originally coal burners but converted to oil firing late in their working lives. 1 Abt has now burns diesel fuel on the West Coast Wilderness Railway, and is seen in this photo on the turntable at Dubbil Barril being prepared to take its train up the 1:20 gradient Abt rack section to Rinadeena on 6 May 2003. (1)
2 Abt		-	0-4-2RT	Dubs 3594 of 1898	Display	Tasmanian Transport Museum, Glenorchy, Hobart	2 Abt was donated to the TTM, Glenorchy by the Mt Lyell Mining & Railway Company after closure of their line in 1963.  2 Abt is normally displayed within the replica roundhouse at the TTM  but is seen outside the roundhouse during shunting operations in this photo kindly provided by Stuart Dix.
3 Abt		-	0-4-2RT	Dubs 3730 of 1899	Operational	West Coast Wilderness Railway, Queenstown	Abt 3 was preserved in working order at Queenstown after closure of the railway in 1963.  It was kept in an open cage on a short length of track on a grass reserve adjacent to the old station yard, and was still there in the early 1970's. (59)   3 Abt was subsequently plinthed near this location, which became known as 'Miners Siding'.  The plinth was a replica timber bridge on the inclined Abt railway section, under a weather roof, as seen in this photo of May 1993.  In about 1998 3 Abt was removed and restored to operation in about 2000 for the West Coast Wilderness Railway, including a new welded boiler (see also 1 Abt). (1)
4 Abt	-	-	0-4-2RT	Dubs ? of ?	Drowned	Queenstown	4 Abt was the least favoured of the 5 Abt locos by crews of the Mount Lyell Mining & Railway Co, being "all show and no go". When the line was closed in 1963, 4 Abt was adapted for static use at the company limestone quarry, where it was later buried. The quarry site has since filled with water. (44)  4 Abt's poor performance started after its conversion to oil firing. (58)
5 Abt		-	0-4-2RT	North British 24418 of 1938	Display	West Coast Wilderness Railway, Queenstown	5 Abt was purchased by the ARHS Victoria Division after closure of the Mt Lyell railway in 1963, and sent to the Menzies Creek museum as it was felt it was more appropriate in that collection than at Williamstown. (59)  5 Abt was displayed together with an Abt-rack brake van on an inclined section of rack railway at the Puffing Billy Museum at Menzies Creek, Victoria, as seen in this 1996 photo.  A walkway under the loco showed the Abt rack-and-pinion mechanism. The original 'O class' passenger carriages of the Mt Lyell Mining & Railway Company were also preserved by the Puffing Billy Railway and were regauged from 3' 6" to 2' 6". (1)  5 Abt & the brake van have since been acquired by the West Coast Wilderness Railway where the loco will be restored to running order.  On 19 November 2003, 5 Abt was placed on a low loader for the start of its journey back to Tasmania.
4	-	-	0-6-0T	Baldwin ? of ?	Drowned / Components	Queenstown	Abt No 4 and Baldwin No4 were taken to the old lime stone quarry (on the right hand side of the road behind the Silver Hills Motel as you enter Queenstown from Zeehan). This quarry was used by Mt Lyell Mining & Railway Co. for lime stone and silica sand and later became a dumping ground for the company's scrap. In later years the mine was serviced by the 2 ft Krauss locos to the smelters.  Today the hole is full of water and about 200 very large rainbow trout.  Local enthusiasts have looked into trying to retrieve parts, but it would be a massive job. (58)

( - )		-	0-6-0T	Fowler 5265 of 1886	Workshop	Don River Railway, Don	This Fowler is an attractive locomotive with an interesting history. (1)  It was originally ordered for a gravel tramway at Kiama, NSW, but this venture failed and the loco was sold before use to contractors for construction of government railways in Queensland.  (43) It was transferred to Tasmania by 1898 and apparently used in Macquarie Harbour breakwater construction but unused by 1912, and subsequently stored in Hobart station yard for many years after. (43)  It is now reaching the end of a protracted restoration at the VDRS, including having a new boiler fabricated, and is seen in this photo inside the workshop at the VDRS, Don on 8 May 2003. (1)
Vertical Boiler		-	0-4-0VB	Markham & Co, built 1890	Display	Tasmanian Transport Museum, Glenorchy, Hobart	This interesting locomotive is one of only 24 locomotives built by Markham and Co, Chesterfield, England (45).  (A second Markham loco is also preserved in the UK, a 0-4-0ST of 1894 named 'Gladys' (46)).  Vertical boiler locos were sometimes known as 'Coffee Pots', and this engine is the only vertical boiler loco preserved in Australia (excepting railway cranes etc). (1)  After a variety of timber industry owners around Tasmania the locomotive was transferred to a mill at Tyenna in the Derwent Valley, and by 1946 was abandoned in the bush after stationary use powering a water pump.  It was retrieved from the bush by the TTM in 1983 (45) and is now under static restoration as seen in this photograph on 30 April 2003. The locomotive appears to have had vertical cylinders mounted on the near side as seen in this photograph, but these were not evident during my visit of 30 April and are possibly missing, or elsewhere for restoration.

(1)  Some sources have reported that these are actually the original frames of sister Wee Georgie Wood (above).
Lukee		-	0-4-2T	Kerr Stuart 742 of 1901	Operational	Red Cliffs Historic Steam Railway Inc., Victoria	Lukee was originally dispatched by builders Kerr Stuart to India in 1901 before being returned for rebuilding. Lukee was subsequently delivered to Mt Zeehan Silver & Lead Mines, Zeehan, Tasmania in 1903.   Sold in 1921 to the SA Government for use on the Cobdogla Tramway before being resold in 1924 to the Victoria State Rivers & Water Supply Commission for use on the Redcliffs Tramway.  This loco was withdrawn in 1954 and preserved (48).  After many years of being plinthed, Lukee was restored to operation by the Red Cliffs Historical Steam Railway Inc. for use on their short line at the Red Cliffs Pumping Station, Victoria. (1) Lukee is the only survivor of the 15 Kerr Stuart locos imported to Australia, as listed by John Buckland. (48)  This photograph was kindly provided by Mark Smithers and shows Lukee in operation at Red Cliffs.
2		-	0-4-0T	Krauss 4087 / 5800 of 1899 / 1907	Stored	West Coast Pioneers Memorial Museum, Zeehan	Ex-North Mt Lyell Copper Co, later used by Mt Lyell Mining & Railway Co.  From 1945 this loco was used by Rennison Associated Tin Mines. (47) This machine was rebuilt in 1959 using components of Krauss 4087 and Krauss 5800 (47), which perhaps explains why the cab spectacle plate has one round window and one square! (1)  This little loco was plinthed in a playground at Devonport from 1965 until 1983 (47), but became derelict and was acquired by the West Coast Pioneers Museum and placed into storage at the rear of the museum as seen in this photo of May 1993. Unfortunately the loco was still stored in this way at my last visit in May 2003, but 'metal moths' had eaten much further into the platework. (1)

Preserved at the VDRS, Don in 1972 before moving to Tullah in 1993. (47) Krauss 5988 is currently awaiting a new boiler; the condemned boiler is plinthed at Tullah (as seen in this photo of 8 May 2003) while the loco is stored boilerless inside the depot. (1) A brief history of the Tullah Tramway and its locomotives can be found on the Wee Georgie Wood Steam Railway website.
10		-	0-4-0T	Krauss 6067 of 1910	Display	Invermay Rail Heritage Precinct, Launceston	Mt. Lyell Krauss No.10 was purchased by the Queen Victoria museum in 1970 and transferred to Launceston by road. It was loaded onto a TGR KG flat wagon and stored outside the roundhouse for some years until the Tasmanian Steam Preservation Society negotiated a lease of the loco for running on their private line 'The Second River Tramway' at Karoola.  No.10 subsequently moved to the Redwater Creek Tramway, Sheffield. (59)  In July 2001 No.10 moved again for static display at the Queen Victoria Museum & Art Gallery, which has been established at the former TGR railway workshops at Invermay (11) as seen in this photo kindly provided by Stuart Dix.
