A rare opportunity to own a piece of Australian history lies before you with the NCB Bowes Springwell Colliery locomotive, No. 14, photographed in 1935 as photo #F3401. This iconic 0-6-2ST loco is one of only three surviving examples of this type of locomotive and represents a unique piece of Australia's industrial heritage.
Built in the early 20th century for the Northumberland Coal Company, No. 14 was designed to haul heavy coal trains over the rugged terrain of the New South Wales countryside. Its robust construction and reliable performance make it an ideal example of Australian engineering at its finest.
This locomotive has been meticulously restored to its original condition, retaining much of its original paintwork and detailing. It is a rare chance to own a working locomotive with such a storied past, and it would be a dream for any collector or enthusiast of industrial heritage. The NCB Bowes Springwell Colliery No. 14 is a true piece of Australian history that deserves to be cherished and preserved.
