Started life working at Racecourse Sugar Mill, Mackay, Queensland. In 1937 it was purchased by Moreton Mill, Nambour as they required a light locomotive to operate on their Valdora branch line. Was named VALDORA by Moreton Mill. Had the distinction of being the oldest loco to work at the sugar mill. After withdrawal was put on display in the town of Nambour. Now housed in the Nambour District Historical Museum. May 2018 loco was undergoing a cosmetic repaint.

Nambour District Historical Museum opened in 1996. Public access Wednesday to Saturday 13.00 - 16.00. There is plenty to see as well as the 4 steam locomotives there is a large selection of sugar machinery & railway equipment plus history and artefacts from the local area. Staff will gladly open cages protecting some steam locomotives so you can have a closer look
