My point exactly. Interestingly, Mr Oberg does include in "Locos of
Aust" PVH1, later EBR No. 21.  This 0-8-0DH (the only one in
Australia), and still in service after 47 years, worked alongside No
22, formerly one of the two Mt Lyell Vulcan-Drewry locos (V class
replicas also built in 1953).  No 22 left Burnie a year ago and is now
back in Queenstown after 37 years, working on the Abt reconstruction.
The other ex Mt lyell loco is the one at the Zig Zag Railway.
