[TAS] Temma-Balfour Railway

[John Dennis <jdennis@acslink.net.au>]

The May ARHS Bulletin has a feature "Celebrating 50 Years of the New
Series of Bulletin"  One of the illustrations was the front page of the
October 1937 issue, the Second "No. 1".

One item on this page read:

"The 2-ft gauge Temma to Balfour Railway, Tasmania, has been provided
with a "CC" Class engine, possibly either No.26 or No.27.  This was a
3'6" gauge loco converted to 2-ft gauge.  Further information is
awaited with interest."

All I can do is concur with the last sentence.  Does anybody have any
further information, either on the railway itself of the (unlikely)
conversion of a CC class to 2-foot gauge?

Sounds like a possibility for James' Rurr Valley Railway ...

Cheers...JD
