Jatibarang No.9 is a Mallet 0-4-4-0T that is scheduled to work on the WHR during the 2011 season. Said to be the last Mallet locomotive built in Germany, it is Jung 4878 of 1930, supplied to HE Oving of Rotterdam for use at Jatibarang sugar mill in Java. Brought to the UK by Graham Lee, it has been beautifully restored at Statfold Barn. On the WHR it will be the first full-size Mallet used for passenger services in the UK and it will provide an interesting point of comparison with the other types of articulated locomotives to be seen on the line. No.9 arrived at Dinas by low-loader on the morning of April 8th 2011 and moved to Boston Lodge under it's own power the same day. During its stay on the F&WHR the locomotive will be based at Boston Lodge. Photo credit: Geoff Cryer Recently featured: Rats tails – Carriage 2042 – Minffordd bypass – Publications
