CGR 4-6-4T No. 160

Posted by: Steve Frost on Mar 24, 2018 @ 14:03:00
The loco bearing the number 166 in the CGR lists was in fact a broad gauge 2-6-4T of class D3, so the identity carried by this loco is not correct. As so many of the locos present at the site carried no form of identity, one wonders which one this is! I will settle for 160 until someone knows better.
