MOVING TO VANCOUVER AND GAUGE 1

The Royal Bavarian State Railways' sole class S 2/6 steam locomotive was built in 1906 by the firm of Maffei in Munich, Germany. It was of 4-4-4 wheel arrangement in the Whyte notation, or 2'B2' h4v in the UIC classification scheme, and was a 4-cylinder, von Borries, balanced compound locomotive.
The Aster loco was available from the company in 1981 and we see a friend's fine example running on a garden railway in Delta, BC. See Delta trains on
