FL9 2011—Variations on a Theme

Friday, November 24, 2023, marked the beginning of the Polar Express season on Mass Coastal Railroad/Cape Cod Central Railroad. Since we were in the neighborhood, Kris and I checked in on Cape Cod Central and located the excursion train-set that was being prepared for the day’s “Polar Expressing” near Mass Coastal Railroad’s HQ in East Wareham, Massachusetts.

While traveling during my holiday vacation, I met someone special!

A. & G. Price E type 111/1923 at the Bush Tramway Club, from a day out with @faemorningstar.

New to Selwyn Timber Co of Mangatapu (nowadays, a suburb of Tauranga), it had a short history with them of only 6 years. It sat unused for another 6 years before being sold to Ellis and Burnand Ltd at Mangapēhi.

It spent 8 years at Mangapēhi before being transferred to Ōngarue. It was withdrawn by 1958, and sold to the Bush Tramway Club later on.

In 2013 it was given a minor cosmetic overhaul (see below)

(Pictured in 2021)

It is sadly way down on the restoration list, but even in its cosmetically overhauled state, it is still the most complete Price E type in existence. The E type is a mix of the Climax Class B and the Heisler.

It’s a trenchbaby! This little goober was one of the reasons I was excited to visit the museum.

Those who know @duncandonuts06‘s art recognize that this is Schätzchen. Well one of his siblings. This darling was built in 1917 by Henschel Cassel.

It hid away a bit, but I found him 😼

DL 9233 running through Papatoetoe just after 9am one morning.

I can't remember what train it was on, but it was probably one of the MPs from Tauranga.
