Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class unknown (Locobase 6694)

Data from 1912 Railway Gazette of 7 December 1912. Boiler pressure is an estimate.

This really was a tiny engine, even for the gauge. According to the Gazette article it was used for shunting (switching) and for pulling ballast trains.
