Mount Morgan Co. Ltd No.5 Peckett b/n 1174 of 1905 |

This view is kindly provided by Peter Newett and shows Mount Morgan No.5 in the Melbourne suburbs in August 2009. |
This locomotive was originally Mt Morgan Mines No.5, and more recently Mt Isa Mines Co Ltd No.2. It was out of use by 1954. a
It was initially preserved at Barkly Highway State School, Soldiers Hill, Mount Isa. In 1992 it was sold to a private collector and transported to suburban Bayswater, Melbourne. a
In August 2009 it became available for sale. I understand it has been sold to a collector and moved to a private location in South-East Queensland. b
