The building of a standard gauge line from Kalgoolie to Perth was completed in 1968. Also included was a new railway station at Merredin, a short walk from the 42 inch gauge station. The old station became a railway museum. There is plenty to see at this museum. The 95 lever signal box built on stilts, gives a clear view in both directions. A short walk away is also an excellent military museum.

The locomotive was dismantled at the old steam shed at Pinjarra with a view to future restoration. So far this has not been possible probably due to the high cost of funding the project, plus the volunteers at HVTR have a heavy work load just keeping the railway running. In 2002 the loco frames were put on a flat wagon then later moved to Alumina Junction for storage. Almost all the other parts are behind the old steam shed. (See the album photos - Editor)

Now preserved at Estacion Concordia Central, Concordia Entre Rios province. Displayed at the railway station without the tender.

1336 is now preserved at Plaza Manuel Belgrano in Santa Ana, Corrientes province. A display at the park labelled Estacion Santa Ana has FCGU 655 on one end of a row of wagons & carriages. The other end is Henschel 20232. 1336 had ended its life as a wood burner so the home made tender has railings on top of water tank for wood.

When preserved it was originally displayed outside the Polyclinic Ferroviario, Retiro, Buenos Airies, a hospital paid for by railway workers donations or union fees. When railways were privatized, railway workers numbers decreased rapidly. The hospital lost funding, closing in 1999. Shortly afterwards 1332 moved a short distance to be displayed outside Museo Nacional Ferroviario, Retiro, a short walk from Estacion Retiro. There is no tender preserved.

The loco was taken away & rebuilt. A new boiler containing a petrol engine was fitted. It returned to Old Gesher Museum, which includes the ruins of the power station. From 2004 it would often operate with a rake of tipper trucks. Said to rarely operate now.

In 1913 the State Saw Mills company erected 3 saw mills in the Karri forests. They were built in valley bottoms so loaded trains ran down hill to the mills. They supplied 500,000 sleepers to the Trans - Australian Railway. The line was being built to link Western Australia to the rest of the country. They erected number 1 mill at Deanmill. Number 2 & 3 mills were erected at Big Brook alongside each other. The town was later renamed Pemberton. Pemberton saw mill closed in 2016.

In 1967 put on display at Manjimup. In 2002 donated to Pemberton Tramway where it now sits on a siding along with Y class diesels and a breakdown crane.

They started logging in the Busselton and Witchcliffe area. The first sawn timber was produced in 1924. Due to difficulties using horses & tractors to haul logs, in 1927 they purchased Y71 from the South Australia Railway.

The depression of 1929 put the company into liquidation. The assets passed to Adelaide Timber Company. Y71 continued hauling logs to the mill plus finished wood to WAGR siding at Witchcliffe. Working until 1957 when the Busselton to Witchcliffe railway closed. The loco wasput into store. In 1968 it was donated to Rail Heritage. In December 1971 the loco minus tender moved to Bassendean Railway Museum. The tender off WAGR G class number 67 was altered and paired with the loco.
