Here is the photo album for Adelaide Timber Company No. 'Snorting Liz', a 2-2-0WT located in Manjimup, Western Australia. If you would like to suggest additional photos for this album, please click here.

The traction engine origins of this unusual home made beast are clear in this photo. It is doubtful if the long unguarded chain drive would be allowed these days!

A long exposed unguarded chain would be asking for trouble these days.

The view of the left hand side (The safer side, away from that long exposed chain) shows the origins of the wheels. At the front, a pair of ancient wagon wheels and at the rear a pair of driving wheels salvaged from some scrapped loco. Notice how the crank pin has been crudely chopped off. You have to admire the ingenuity!

The rear three quarter view just emphasizes the origins of the loco again,

A close up of the rear of the loco. Notice the only brake on the thing, acting on the left hand side rear wheel. Only for the very brave, this one!

A close up of the drive system. Ingenious home made engineering. A lost art.
