My father was the president of the historical society at the time and he and fellow enthusiasts went round all the remaining Y class locos to find the one needing the least amount of work to restore. This loco was then put on display behind the Civic hall. i can remember the engine being rolled down Armstrong St hill on temp tracks. He also removed the gauges and had them put in the firebox prior to having the firebox doors welded shut. I myself worked at the Ballarat North workshops and was able to witness the last steaming of K162 as it went between the workshops and Admin Building appearing out of a cloud of steam. Oh to have had a camera on that occasion. Several weeks later I had the Honour of removing the number plates and makers plates from the engine.Ross Skilbecknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251718621233444266.post-73730904952325069312014-05-13T18:42:18.180+10:002014-05-13T18:42:18.180+10:00Very interesting read.
