Built by Bagnall & Son in 1909, this diminutive (7.9 tonne) saddle tank locomotive was used by the Christchurch Gas Coal and Coke Company at the Christchurch Gas Works. The loco was used to shunt wagons of coal delivered to the works by the NZR until 1970, when it was donated to the Canterbury Railway Society.
As restoration of the loco was not high on the list of priorities, it was leased to the Pleasant Point Railway in 1979. However the Bagnall was not restored while at Pleasant Point and returned some 15 years later to Ferrymead, where it has since been stored in a dismantled condition.
