Nearing the end of the album (you'll be delighted to hear).
Any ideas here? I've hunted high and low for preserved Garratts in S America and can only find some small versions in Argentina.
I have a feeling these locos are from various different locations rather than from the same preserved railway. I've tracked down some others in Peru but not these.
The first three locos are a very long way from Peru.
The first photo is a Bundy Fowler. Specifically, BF5 'Bundy' preserved by the ANGRS and running on their line at Woodford in Qld.
Second photo is a froggie. Mallet 104 of the Chemin de Fer du Vivarais (CFV). Preserved, although it appears to be working a goods train.
Third photo is a Garratt alright, but it's G42, preserved at Puffing Billy in the Dandenongs near Melbourne Vic. Looks like it is waiting at the platform at Belgrave. Must be summer, the driver has hung a water bag out of the window, which is partially obscuring the number plate.
Your guess is as good as mine as to what and where the contraption in the fourth photo is. Looks industrial.........
Regards,
Graeme
