New to Macknade Sugar Mill, near Ingham, Queensland. Became their number 8. After withdrawal was displayed at Lucinda Point, a small coastal town. In the 70s moved to Timbertown Heritage Park, Wauchope, NSW where it hauled passenger trains around the Park, acquiring the name GREEN HORNET. By 2000 was out of use. Around 2010 sold to a private individual. Now displayed in the carpark of the Railway Motel, Taree, NSW, a short walk from the railway station. A polite request at reception, allowed use to view the loco, plus were shown other railway artefacts.
