Re: Status of Garratts




Dooough!
I forgot the following:
Vic:
NGG16 Garratt No. 129, ex South African Railways (and more recently, the
Alfred County Railway)

Tas:
Live Steam scale model of K1, running on the Bush Mill Rialway, Port
Arthur.
I travelled on this line in 1993, and recommend it!

Cheers
