The only
surviving Midland Railway Co. steam locomotive. Similar to the extinct
WAGR T-class. B6 was withdrawn in 1956 and subsequently plinthed at
Geraldton under the ownership of the City of Geraldton. In 1995 B6 was
donated to the Swan Shire Council in Perth and moved to the Midland Workshops
in 1999 under care of ARHS (22). This photograph is kindly provided
by Stuart Jackson, and shows B6 at the Midland Workshops Open Day on 3

SSM2 was built new for
a WA timber company to the design of the WAGR G-class & SAR Y-class.
SSM2 was retired in 1967 had been plinthed under a weather roof at Manjimup
Mill until donated to the Pemberton Tramway Co, and was transferred to
Pemberton on 4 & 5 February 2004. (56) The Pemberton Tramway Co website
includes a history of SSM2 and its recent movement on their
information
page for SSM2. This photograph is kindly provided by Neil Blinco
and shows SSM2 at Pemberton shortly after arrival from Manjimup. (The
connecting rods and cowcatcher are sitting on a pallet as these were removed
to facilitate SSM2's transfer from Manjimup.) |

Victoria Foundry, Ballarat Victoria, built 1871 |
Plinthed |
Busselton |
This historic
engine is the oldest surviving Australian-built locomotive, and also the first steam locomotive in
WA. 'Ballaarat' was used on a timber tramway near Yoganup, and is named
after the original spelling of its city of manufacture. The loco was
withdrawn about 1900 but survived into preservation (23). Photo
(12 May 2002) shows Ballaarat plinthed in a park, under a weather shelter.
I believe this historic locomotive now deserves a better home, such as the
WA Museum in Perth (1). |

A standard
Baldwin shunting design, this locomotive is also similar to preserved 'Sandfly' NA1 of the North
Australia Railway (1). Photo (9 May 2002) shows Kia-Ora preserved at
Bassendean, where the loco was due to move under a new shelter. (1)
Kia-Ora had a variety of timber, public works and jetty shunting roles for
different owners prior to last steaming in 1961. 'Kia-Ora' is Maori for
'Your Health'. (22) |

Kate's original users were a timber tramway and also the Wyndham Meatworks &

before being cosmetically restored at Boyanup in 2001, including removal of
asbestos boiler lagging. Kate returned to Margaret River on 25 August
2001, and a shelter has been built to display the locomotive under cover.

This interesting locomotive is a outline replica of a Sydney steam tram,
built to 3' 6" gauge rather than the 4' 8.5" gauge of Sydney's original
Baldwin steam trams. (1) It was trialed the Yarloop steam
Workshops in March 2006 and is now based at that location, being steamed
monthly to provide visitor rides. (76) |

Queenstown,

One of two
locomotives imported by the Lake View
Gold Mine, Kalgoorlie, and later used by the Great Boulder Mines. (22)
This locomotive was listed at Bankstown NSW, and
earlier the Wodonga Woolshed (Vic) in this listing
of Preserved
Orenstein & Koppel Steam Locomotives. It was transferred to
the Queenstown workshops of the Abt Railway in approximately 2000 and a start
made on overhaul and regauging to 3' 6". This photograph of 5
May 2003 shows the loco's upper half sitting on a transport frame in the
Abt Railway workshop yard at Queenstown. Nearby were the frames, which had
been broadened with new frame spacers, and the wheelsets on new, broader
axles. However work appeared to be progressing slowly. (1) |

This interesting little locomotive is the only
example from this Belgian builder preserved in Australia. It was most
recently used by Peak Hill Gold Mines. The remains of this locomotive
are now plinthed in the main street of Meekatharra. Howard Jones has
kindly provided this October 2001 photo of the loco at Meekatharra, together
with a left-side view and a
rear view, which show the
locomotive is missing the right-hand side cylinder and motion together with
all backhead fittings. Hopefully this interesting survivor will one
day be restored for display in a better home. (1) |

Ex-Great
Western Railway, UK. Imported through the port of Newcastle, NSW by Hammersley Iron in 1977 for use on their
Pilbara iron ore railway. Pendennis Castle had been operational during the 1970's and
1980's and was cared for by the
Pilbara
Railways Historical Society. Pendennis Castle travelled to Perth to meet '4472 The Flying Scotsman' in 1989.

subsequently donated to
the GWS and returned to the UK in 2000. She is now under overhaul at
Didcot. (1) |
