This locomotive was built by Andrew Barclay in Kilmarnock and dispatched to New Zealand in April 1915. It was given the name Jura. Prior to building the five mile railway and using steam locomotives logs were dragged on skids by horses.
In November 1905 the West Coast Times reported that work was almost complete on Messrs J. C. Malfroy and Coy’s private railway connecting the Ho Ho sawmills with their bush land on the north side of the Arahura River. In November 1944 the name of the station was changed from Ho Ho to Hou Hou.
J C Malfroy & Co was later taken over by Westland Box Company Ltd. The traffic from their sawmill was the mainstay of the traffic from Hou Hou.
During the time of the Great Depression in the 1930s the locomotive was often idle and for some months in 1932 and 1934 it was hired to the Greymouth Harbour Board. The locomotive was offered for sale to the Greymouth Harbour Board but this was declined.
In 1938 the sawmill was sold to W T Olgilvie & Co of Gladstone and the locomotive operated under this ownership until 1954.
The locomotive then lay derelict for 20 years before being acquired around 1975 and transported to the Canterbury Steam Preservation Society and moved to their premises at Mclean Island.After around 25 years in storage there the surviving parts, largely the frame and wheels, were moved to Central Otago .
The locomotive is privately owned and is believed to be in store at Middlemarch.
Sidings were provided for traffic from Messrs J. C. Malfroy & Coy’s sawmill at Hou Hou.
