This locomotive was built by John Fowler in Leeds in 1934 to operate at the Marian Mill which is situated alongside the Pioneer River and the township of Marian, west of Mackay.
It is understood that the locomotive is privately owned and kept at Mirani, a sugar hamlet a little further west of Marian Mill.
Marian Mill was first built in 1885, but closed after a few years. The Marian Central Mill Co Ltd erected a new mill in 1894 under the Sugar Guarantee Act, and the first crushing took place in 1895.
In 1966 the shareholders of Marian Central Mill Co Ltd voted to sell the assets and liabilities of that company to the cane farmers supplying the mill, who formed the Marian Mill Co-operative Society Limited.
