Does anyone have access to vol 1 of hardman. Trying to find out which NG locos were shipped to NZ? It's a side quest.

I assume you've found the W&M tanks later known as WH?

Also Ohinemuri - Photographs – Historic

I found a photo in the archive

The same loco as above I think but looking a little less fresh. Some changes to shunter's steps and handgrabs etc.

If it isn't the same loco it's the same M/W type.

For any interested in the WH, Paul Berntsen is in the midst of a 9mm build and write up and there have been 2 recent pictorial features at NZ Model Railway Guild – Providing a link for New Zealand model railway enthusiasts modelling the New Zealand prototype

I have the book. Christchurch Meat Company ordered two of the 0-4-0T locos shown above, no. 1841 despatched 2 March 1914 and no. 1890 despatched on 4 January 1916 with 9 1/2" x 14" cylinders and 2' 9 3/4" wheels. The other 0-4-0T was the first MW in NZ, no. 859 an altered class D despatched on 4 August 1882 to Bayliss Jones & Bayliss with 8 x 14" cylinders and 2' 8" wheels. These three, and the 5 large Wellington & Manawatu Railway locos delivered in 1884/5, were all 3'6" gauge. The five locos for the Waichi Gold Mining Co linked to above were 2' 9" gauge.

Yes. I just transcribed the text from the book where the spelling is repeated multiple times. I wonder if the added 'c' appears in the MW records or if it was Mr Harman misreading.
