Just a few M/MA class, and one or two Abt, in this group. I
never really got to see any Tasmanian steam, at least to
photograph. One of my earliest memories, however, was of a visit to
the Apple Isle during the early 50s. I was perhaps 5 years old at the
time. I vividly remember seeing a Tasmanian steam loco on these
incredibly narrow tracks (I was brought up in Victoria and its
5'3" gauge, don't forget), running light engine, tender
first. It was perhaps an M class, although it was quite dirty and not
at all like the following photographs. It is reported that I exclaimed
excitedly "train going backsa"!
