1067 Stored for the Dorrigo Steam Railway & Museum |
|
|
1067 is stored dismantled at the Dorrigo Steam Railway & Museum as seen in this photograph of 24 January 2004. The boiler, smokebox, cab and tanks were also stored nearby. |
1067 is one
of six identical 0-4-0CT crane tank locomotives delivered to the NSWGR by
Hawthorn Leslie & Co. of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England under several repeat
orders:

Technically these
engines were ‘luffing crane tank locomotives’ with a maximum 7-ton crane
capacity. The luffing jib could rotate through 360 degrees and was fitted with
three hooks to allow 3.5, 5 or 7-ton lifts, with hoisting achieved by raising
the angle of the jib.
1067 remained in use
into the 1970’s. It was acquired by the Dorrigo Steam Railway & Museum in a
dismantled state after the NSWGR dis-assembled it for overhaul assessment, but
then decided not to proceed with the required repairs. 1067’s components are now
stored at the DSR&M site at Dorrigo.
John
Buckland wrote a very authorative article on the various crane tank locomotives
of Australia in the ARHS Bulletin of June 1985.
1067's boiler, smokebox, lifting jib and counterweight are
seen stored at Dorrigo on 24 January 2004.

Graham has several more views of 1067 in action that day in
his photo album.
