Steam Locomotive F111
This is an example of one of the best steam locomotives to work in this country. The 'Dunedin' class 0-6-0T was introduced in 1873 to work the Dunedin and Clutha Railway. So successful were these engines that they could be found working as shunting locomotives on the N.Z.R. up until the 1960's. F111 was built in 1879 and sold by the N.Z.R. in 1944 to the Oamaru Harbour Board who used it up until 1966. It was then sold to the O.B.R. in a very sad state. Major restoration was carried out and in 1975 it took part in the Ohai Railway Board's 50th celebrations. Unfortunately the boiler was condemned in 1980 and she now awaits a new one. |
