CF - K1 ; in works grey

K1 in works grey, in 1909, this articulated locomotive was the prototype of the Garratt K class, built for the Tasmanian Government. I am assuming this is outside Beyer Peacock, Manchester as the grey livery and the plain background is typical of the ex-work's image for record purposes.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasmanian_Government_Railways_K_class

an addendum to the wiki - K1 has been successfully steamed and operated in 2020 after her overhaul at Statfold Barn, on a 10 year loan, as she is really too small to pull trains on the WHR by herself.

Not my image (but dates from 1909 so I think that it is actually out of copyright.)

Hi Sara

I seem to remember seeing this picture before, and as you say, it is the makers photograph.

I have just had a look, and dug out a picture of this loco in steam on a rainy day 2010. I'll post it soon.. www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/50648762

Best Wishes and keep safe!

My info says 195lb bp & 17,900lb TE. Entered service on Tasmanian Govt Railways in 1910. The only compound garratts and only ones with the cylinders not at each end of the loco.
