Evenin' all,
In the early seventies at least, there was a yellow Cummins powered shunter
at Medway Quarry. It would never leave the works environs much owing to it
being out of gauge for the "Govt. tracks". It was similar to or the same as
the one at Berrima works. I can verify with photos taken of it in that era
at the Quarry.
See Ya   AH
