The Very Last: Lucky Me

Recently I ordered some new wheels cast to the original pattern at A&G Price Foundry in Thames N.Z. This business was founded during the 1868 Gold Rush and made Boilers, Stamp Mills and Locomotives for the Bush logging and New Zealand Railways.
Just as I took delivery, the firm closed up after 149 years, the very last Mine wheels built here.
