Photo of F13 on the South Island Midland line on a Railway Enthusiasts special, crossing the Waimakariri River -43.013762, 171.713489
A number of the old F's survived since they were about the only Steam class left that could be used on a Wharf. A total of 88 were built and 15 are still around, a number in steam today. 1881 built F163 was run out of my old Depot until joining the Feilding Steam Group.
Don't be put off by the Tank, that 0-6-0 will leave a Sports Model in the dust, might not pull as much though since were rated at 800 tons on the flat.
