Ownership: Built by Perry Engineering in 1951 for the Marian Central Mill Co. Ltd. In 1966 Marian Mill Co-operative Society Ltd. bought out the Marian Central Mill Co. Ltd. and thus also gained ownership of the loco. In 1988 the Marian Mill Co-operative Society limited amalgamated with multiple nearby mills to become Mackay Sugar Co-operative Association Ltd., so in 1988 the loco was owned by this group presumably. Around 1990 the loco became owned by the Melaleuca Station who preserved in running condition. In 2009 the loco was purchased by the Bennett Brook Railway.
