THE West Coast Wilderness Railway in Tasmania, Australia, has bought former Mount Lyell 0-4-2 Abt rack tank engine No. 2 (built by Dubs in 1898, works number 3594) from the Tasmanian Transport Museum, and will return the loco to service. The loco was the second of what would become a class of five similar locos built by Duebs and its successor North British between 1896 and 1938. The 1,067mm-gauge West Coast Wilderness Railway operates the reconstructed former | Mount Lyell Mining & Railway Company line between Queenstown and Strahan in Tasmania, which originally opened in 1897 to serve copper and gold mines.
