Re: Decauville loco

["Ed" <ews3@ozemail.com.au>]

Hi Chris -

I have a loco that fits this description listed on my website... it was
exported to the UK.
Suggest you have a look at the Decauville locos on 'Sugar Industry' page
under:
http://www4.tpgi.com.au/users/ews3/presindex.htm

I would be interested to hear further about this loco!

Regards

Ed
