Melbourne
based Malcolm Moore built a total of ninety four of these 2ft gauge, four wheeled
locos from
1943 onwards. They were originally
fitted with a Ford V8 engine and manual mechanical gearbox. After the war many of them were auctioned off to sugar mills and other
industries including mining. Examples can be found today at the Ida
Bay Railway in Tasmania, the Alexandra Timber Tramway Museum in
Victoria and also lurking out the back at the odd sugar mill in
Queensland.
