DIESEL LOCOMOTIVES for TRAINZ

During the mid to latter days of the steam era the logging companies used a wide variety of mixed motive power. This section, while not strictly diesel, covers some of the different non-steam motive powers, that found their places on the Narrow Gauge logging lines.

The MOUSE

A Narrow Gauge Shunter

Introducing the Mouse, an engine with a history......

It happened that the owner of Murchison Logging, Sir Gibby, an expatriate from England, needed a locomotive to move loaded wagons between his mill sites. After a search he found this second hand and well used loco, originally made in Australia, and shipped it to Murchison. He liked it so much after it was overhauled by a skilled local mechanic, Gary Hoorn, that he often rode in it, driven by an ex convict from Australia, Peter Pardoe-Matthews (better known to his cell mates at Yard-Master prison as "NARRA" gage) . Even when the steam locomotives arrived, being driven around in the Mouse was his Sunday treat, dressed to the nines in his favorite Cowboy outfit made to order by Shane Permann, a prominent American tailor.

The author thanks Shane Permann and Gary Hoorn for their contributions to the little known history of this unique locomotive. ....."
