4002- this is preserved in working order by the
Pilbara Railway Historical Society.

9405? 4006 AFAIK this is
stuffed and mounted at Lambert.

demonstrator 7101, did it become a W class in Victoria and,

was its number?Yes, it became W266. It was on
S-Gauge for some years then was converted to BG and was based in Geelong for a
long period of time. It turned up in Ballarat in 1976 but as I left Ballarat in
1976 for South Africa then went to Melbourne then Perth I don't know long it
resided there.
It was unique from the point
of view that it retained the NSWGR 'Hurricane' air horns instead of the horrible
squawk preferred by VR. Other than that it was a typical Wally- underpowered and
unreliable.
