It was a model DTC, DT2 or 44H44A1, I have seen all <br />three references to the models. It worked here around the mid-1960's then <br />went elsewhere to work. It was retired 9/69 and sold to Vennard & <br />Elithorpe the same month as their 15. It was then sold 1/78 to Crestbrook <br />Forest Industries as their 25 and is derelict there.[/quote] <br />
