Puff 9

Loco 7A, a 2'6" gauge 2-6-2 tank loco. Most railway in Victoria is 5'3" but 4 of these narrow gauge lines were added where heavy rail wasn't justified, mostly due to hilly country.

Puffing Billy heritage railway on a drizzly dismal Melbourne morning. Some B/W shots from a few days in the state of Victoria January 1972 (When I find the slides of the trip I'll be able to locate each photo).
