The K 1.

This is front part of the K1 Engine Made by Beyer, & Co. Ltd in 1909. The Steam Engine is three parts, and is Articulated with Boiler in the Middle and 2 steam engines one at each end. H.W. Garret's Patent in 1907. The beauty of the design was it could travel on railway lines that had sharp bends in it. So they were popular in Australia and Africa. This one saw service in Tasmania.
