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.

This locomotive (in 2015) bore a plate (not original) indicating that the depicted image is No. 166, NOT 160. If No. 166 is correct, the accompanying build details are also incorrect.
