    The age of this locomotive is impressive. What locomotive would be the oldest in service for steam in Australia ?

    If I am not mistaken, all of Puffing Billy's nA steam locomotives are older than that.

    At 101 years old that makes it around 1921.
    There are heaps older than that here in Australia.

    It was 1210 for a long time, 1878. Unfortunately the loss of several vital bits by copper/brass thieves doesn't help. Nothing intrinsically wrong with her, but will be a static for a long time to come.
