This is one swap that has been proven. 1A and 28A swapped identities at
Randwick shops after they were withdrawn when Sans Souci closed in 1937. The
clear signes are... builders numbers on the frame, the Newcastle style
counterweight on the rear apron, and the name above the smokebox door.

Oscar Jones was a driver on the Sans Souci line at the time of its closure.
28A was his pet. Above the smokebox door is the word "OSCAR", written with a
center punch.

<<and what do they have up at Castle Hill?>>

The only steam loco stored at Castle Hill is the Manning Wardle from the
Water Board pumping station at Ryde.
