1219 features an extended smokebox fitted by the NSW railways to improve steaming. 1219 was withdrawn 1962, transferred to Thirlmere in 1974, and shunted onto the long term storage sidings at Thirlmere in 1983 where it is seen in this photograph of 17 January 2004. It was shunted into a covered storage siding in late 2004. A spare Z12 / Z13 boiler (tab 1214) is also stored at Thirlmere, together with several spare 6-wheel tenders. Sister loco 1243 was an operational loco at the NSWRTM during the 70's and early 80's, and hopefully 1219 will one day be restored to operation in its place. (1) Update: 1219 has been moved from Thirlmere to storage at Broadmeadow Loco.
