A very good & interesting 6 minute video 👍👍👍 - Well done to the person or persons who made this great video.

You blokes are living the dream. Well done 👌😊

Good to see locos like this preserved and in operation - even on the shortest of stretches of track. I’d like to know what the plaque on the side said! Thanks for posting👍🏻

Pretty sure the plaque says "This Locomotive worked in Northern Queensland hauling sugar cane to the CSR Macknade Mill. Donated by CSR to Timbertown Wauchope For Preservation. 1977."

Sorry 47 years ago.

The Locomotive Wauchope, it has a Cousin, Another Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0 Narrow Gauge Tender locomotive. This locomotive’s name is Fiji, and it’s currently at the Statfold Barn Railway. Like, in all Seriousness, Wauchope looks almost exactly what My Thomas & Friends OC Blake would look like.

Yes, Wauchope is very similar to Fiji but a little bigger. There were three sizes, I believe.

Not that far from Mandalong Valley, there was another private railway "Smokey Mountain" at Warnervale. Went there in the 70's, and as the name suggests, they were American in style. The track was 1' or 30 cm's

2foot gauge ( 610mm) Sugar Cane Loco, with Rack cars for Full Stick Cane. Probably originally at Northern Rivers ( NSW) Cane District.

Yes, Alistair, NSW 5 chime. Nice, huh?

Are we able to see this in person or is it in someone’s backyard?

What carriage is that far up the back behind the hudswell clarke ?
