Description

KAITANGATA - Sharp Stewart & Co. Glasgow, Scotland. Makers # 4270 built 1896. 22 ton, 10.5 x 18 cylinders, 160lb BP, 36 inch wheels TE 7000lb. The main stay of the railway at Shantytown since its opening in 1972 has been the 'Improved F-Class Kaitangata'. This engine is based on the N.Z.R. (New Zealand Railways) 'F' class, and was built for the Kaitangata Coal & Railway Co. to work the 8 kilometre line from the coal mine at Kaitangata to the N.Z.R. exchange sidings at Stirling.

The coal company and railway were taken over by the State Mines Department in the 1950's with the locomotive continuing to operate the railway until the mine closed in 1969. In February 1971 the locomotive was donated to Shantytown.
