Fa 9 was purchased by the Auckland Farmers Freezing Company in 1943 and converted to diesel in 1953. The trailing bogie was also removed at the same time making the locomotive a 0-6-0DM. After a number of years at AFFCO’s Horotiu works the locomotive was transferred to AFFCO’s Moerewa works near Kawakawa where it ended service in 1994. The locomotive was then acquired by the Bay of Islands Vintage Railway in 1994 and put on display.
