Posted on behalf of the photgrapher, Dennis Mitchell:
Just found this shot this morning while going through the collection. Probably haven't seen this slide for 30+ years. It shows a wood-burning 2-6-4T of the P.N.K.A. in Indonesia on the Tebbing Tinggi turntable (try saying that when you're drunk).
Tebbing Tinggi is in far North Sumatra, near the Palm oil estates at Pamatang Siantur, for those that are interested. I think the roundhouse is probably the nicest one I've seen, certainly the nicest in Indonesia, and the whole place was refreshing after the general grime of most of P.N.K.A. (translates as "State Department of Fire Carriages"!).
33 Tebbing Tinggi August 1973.
