Tasmanian Tramways 0-4-0+0-4-0 No. K1 (Carries No. 2K)

Posted by: Russell Newman on Dec 24, 2019 @ 06:12:01
It has been announced in a slight change of plan that their is to be a possibility that the pioneer Beyer-Garratt, 0-4-0+0-4-0 K1 will return to steam and run at the Statfold Barn Railway. Garratt K1 is now on a on a ten-year loan to them from the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways which it was originally going to have a cosmetic overhaul for display but now this has changed as both Statfold and the Ffestiniog are now working together towards a deal where the K1 can run at both the Statfold Barn Railway and the Welsh Highland Railway. But nothing official will be set till the new year but both railways have a passion to return the locomotive to steam again.

Comstock Mill & Mining Company] 0-4-0T No. 1

Posted by: Kyle Wyatt on Dec 21, 2019 @ 24:12:05
Per the original Porter specification sheet, Order entered April 6, 1887 for the Nevada Mill Co, Empire, Nevada, for an 0-4-0T, 30 inch gauge; Porter construction #848. Shipped May 28, 1887. Cab lettering "C. M. & M. Co." [Comstock Mill & Mining Company], number "1", tank lettering "Eureka". 6x10 cylinders; 23 inch drivers; wood fuel. Water tank capacity 150 gallons. Shipping weight 10,360 lbs. Per 1889 Porter catalog, 6x10 0-4-0T in working order nominally 12,000 lbs (with water in tank and boiler). Eureka Mill operation closed for last time in 1901; railroad believed taken out ca 1905-06. Locomotive believed sold to individual or company. Ca. 1913 loco used by the contractor building the Nevis Dam in Big Meadows to form Lake Almanor for the Great Western Power Company – this in Plumas County, California. The contractor may have been Utah Construction Co., but this is not verified. Ca 1916 Great Western Power developed a small power plant in nearby Butt Valley (that is “Butt”, not “Butte”), and it is possible the contractor used the Porter there, but again unconfirmed. The small power plant supplied power for the construction of Nevis Dam and related developments. Between 1920 and 1922 Great Western Power contracted with Stone & Webster to construct the Caribou Power project, including the large dam in Butt Valley as part of it, forming Butt Lake. Stone & Webster built a 3-foot gauge railroad using several Vulcan 0-4-0Ts that were oil burners. The (30 inch gauge) Porter was set up on blocks as a stationary boiler at one of the fuel stations. After the project was completed, the Porter was left in place on the blocks, and the reservoir was filled, covering it until 1996, when the Butt Lake reservoir was drained for repair work on the Butt Dam. Pacific Gas & Electric purchased and absorbed Great Western Power in 1930. Pacific Gas & Electric donated the loco to the Chester Museum in 1996.

Phil Horton photographed this loco at Saint Valery, but was unable to find out it's identity. Local information was that it had been left there "By the Germans" presumably in the 1940s. The loco's appearance is perhaps more French than German. Please contact us if you can help identify this loco.
