The original ''Annie'' later ended up at a quarry at Motuhora along with another Bagnall engine from the Gentle Annie Tramway, and was buried on the site by a landslide in the late-1950s/early 1960s.

The replica ''Annie'' was constructed based upon working drawings; mechanically identical to '' Polar Bear'' but with a 0-4-2 wheel arrangement. The cylinder mould was obtained from the Bennett Brook Railway in Australia, where another re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Unlike her eventual successor Esther Lederer, Crowley kept her identity as Landers secret, even enjoining her children to help her keep it quiet. Crowley took a three-year break from writing the column from 1948 un ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
