Pozieres, Polygon, Peronne,
Passchendaele and Port Pirie were shunters at the Broken Hill Associated
Smelters, Port Pirie. Four members of the class were named after WW1 battles.
Pozieres was statically displayed at
the Puffing Billy Museum at Menzies Creek for many years. In 2010 it was
relocated to the Bellarine Railway where it was restored to operation. |

Peronne was originally preserved
as a static exhibit in the ARHS Railway Museum at Mile End, Adelaide. It was
restored to operation at Mile End in 1988 in preparation for the move of the
Mile End collection to the new National Railway Museum (NRM) site at Port
Adelaide. Peronne now resides in the
running shed at the National Railway Museum and operates on the 3' 6"
sections of their mixed gauge railway trackage. |

Passchendaele was originally plinthed in a school
playground at Port Pirie, later being donated to the Pichi Richi Railway
Preservation Society Inc (PRRPS). In the late 1980’s the PRRPS sought to
acquire ex-Commonwealth Railways locomotive NM25 which, at that time, was a
static exhibit at the Homestead Park Pioneer Museum in Port Augusta, and a
swap was agreed whereby NM25 was exchanged for Passchendaele and an ex-ETSA
diesel locomotive. In April 2018 Passchendaele was donated back to PRRPS and
it arrived at the PRRPS base in Quorn by 2019, where I understand it is
awaiting its turn for restoration. |

This loco is the sole survivor of
a group of works shunters from the Wallaroo & Moonta Mining &
Smelting Co. Ltd's copper operations on Yorke's Peninsular. Following closure
of the Wallaroo smelter in 1923 the locomotive fleet was dispersed to a
variety of industrial owners. No.6 was
one of four that were sold to Australian Portland Cement for use at the
Fyansford Cement Works, near Geelong. It is now preserved operational at the
Bellarine Railway. |

for the Wallaroo Phosphate Company, South Australia. At a later stage it
moved to Queensland where it became Mt Isa Mines No.3. It was plinthed at the
entrance to Mt Isa for many years. In early 2007 Mt Isa Mines No.3 was gifted by Mt Isa Rotary Club to the
Friends of the North Australia Railway, and relocated to Adelaide River, NT. |
