Hello everbody, now to answer some questions. The Mills 'A' had single flanged wheels Jack , - or at least my general arrangement drawing shows single flanged wheels. If anything different happened later I'm afraid I don't know, many NZ bush lokeys ended up a wee bit like grandad's axe, - 3 heads and 5 handles and it's still the same axe. Oh I completely agree Ralph, - I love the NZ bu***ramways. My great grandad worked at Prices' Engineering in Thames and I have copies of the general arrangement drawings for most of the Price timber tram locos. I was lucky to get these as the originals were drafted out on linen and they are now very fragile indeed. If anybody is desperate for information on any of the Price locos I would be willing to provide a copy of any drawing I have provided my costs are reasonably covered. Got any pictures of your locos by the way? :-) Was the Dispatch loco hard to build? - they had the most appalling geared transmission which was a major weak spot, - which is a shame really because the later models were good looking lokeys. Um now Mr Underworld is it? - as far as I'm aware all the Mills locos have gone to the big scrap yard in the sky, BUT I will check to make certain. Many old NZ locos ended up being dumped in rivers or else left to become a climbing frame for blackberry, - and just lately some of the preservation societies have been locating their whereabouts and hauling them off for restoration. I love Bear Harbour #1 by the way Mr VSmith, reminds me a lot of some of the smaller NZ bush lokeys that were fitted out with steam winches Annie :-)
