Class Don Alberta (Locobase 14482)

Ten years after the plantation Consolidation Magua had first run on the Consuelo Estate (Locobase 14481), the Don Alberta was produced to the same design, but was heavier and oil-fired. The latter meant a new longer tender that weighed considerably more. A year later, "Skipper" joined the Don Alberta. The John Dinzey very likely was built to the same design a dozen years later.
