Maker's Plate Tasmanian Railways K1 : 0-4-0 + 0-4-0 Built in 1909 to Garratt's patent by Beyer, Peacock [Manchester] : wksno. 5292 K1 aka K 1 1/2 is reputed to have been assembled from parts of both K1 and K2 prior to returning to the UK. She arrived at Portmadoc in 1966 but she was far too big - and heavy - for the Festiniog. However, she can fit into the Welsh Highland route, although her tractive effort is too small for working regular service trains she has made a number of guest visits. I have had the pleasure of travelling behind her on a few occasions. There had been a number of mechanical & steaming issues which lead to her being put on loan to SBR in 2019, with the agreement being that she would be overhauled, and she was back in steam by 2020. I have a fantasy that she pays a visit to the South Tynedale Railway - hearing her storm up to Alston from Slaggyford would be a wonderful cacophony !

Probably the Driver's Side - at least it is on the WHR's other Garratts Also shewn are the "greedy bars" on the coal bunker ...
