Condong Ruston 4wDM b/n. 371959/1953

Status: Under Restoration

The Ruston 3 cylinder 40 DL diesel locomotive was built in 1953 and was used by Titanium Alloy Manufacturing co, Cudgen NSW.

This locomotive was used at the Colonial Sugar Refining Co Condong Mill NSW from 1958 until 1976 and then used at NSW Co-operative sugar mill association from 1978 until 1994.

The locomotive was donated to the ILRMS in 2004 and is currently under restoration. The restoration works have seen the locomotive restored to running order and was recently repainted. Now undergoing final touches, it is expected to return to service in late 2008 or early 2009.
