Background
Almost 100 of these petrol locomotives were built in 1943 for the Australian Army during the Second World War.
They were fitted with Ford V8 petrol engines. After the War many were sold to various industrial users around Australia, particularly the sugar industry. Our 2 examples however, were purchased from the Australian Army in 1972.
They were initially stored at Rosewood but both have since been moved to Woodford where one is available for use on work trains.
