"It is believed that Drewry No 13 has been purchase from the Zig Zag Railway
in New South Wales and will return to the West Coast after a full rebuild at
Saunders and Ward  at Kingston the loco will also have a pinion fitted to
work on the rack section at Queenstown as the back up locomotive"

This loco was bought new by the Mt Lyell co in 1953, sold to the TGR 10 years
later, then on to the ZZR in the 80s. If the latest sale back to Tassie
interests has in fact taken place, then maybe that would be a welcome example
of cooperation within the rail preservation movement, with a win-win result
for both parties from commercial and heritage perspectives.
