There are times when the Sandstone Heritage Collection turns up an item that was placed in storage many years ago and inadvertently forgotten! Recently a visitor to Sandstone was being shown around the shed containing our unrestored 2ft gauge locomotives and rolling stock when they came across an open “B” wagon containing a large amount of machinery, some large, and some small, but obviously one machine.
A later visit to the main steam shed and the wagon shed next door revealed a boiler which was certainly not from a locomotive. On one of the sections was the name Garrett and not a misspelling of Garratt as in the locomotive type!
