CF - K1 in April 1966

CF - K1 in April 1966
Image [scanned ] of K1 taken in April 1966 by T Dorrity. The locomotive was moved to more protected storage by 1967. The sea is a matter of a few feet behind the photographer, and at the time there was no shelter from the on-shore winds and weather.

Some of the story of how K1 came to be here, and what has happened since can be found here ..
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasmanian_Government_Railways_K_class

addendum - K1 has since been in steam and working at Statfold Barn (in 2020)...
I hope that she will make a number of trips back to the FR after the Covid Pandemic, although her dimensions keep her to the WHR. I had a trip behind her & the youngest Garratt a few years ago, the FR portion of that particular special train was behind "the old gent" aka Prince and DLG aka David Lloyd George (the soup dragon).
