This engine was bought back from New Zealand some years ago, before the NZ government banned the export of historic artifacts. It is No.2696 of 1904 and named 'The Maori'. The number on the end of the running board is, I believe, it's New Zealand registration No.

I was wondering what it meant when I was stood at the side of it. All makes sense now, thanks.
It was nice to see quite a big percentage of the engines in their works colours, especially the Fowlers.
