No 5 SAPPER  
  Sapper was started in 1978. The Bogie and chassis were finished in 1980 and these were dispatched to Roger Marsh for him to produce a partly-built locomotive. Sapper was then completed at Tucktonia during the winter of 1982 and entered service in the spring of the same year. This locomotive was to be the mainstay for the next ten years at Tucktonia and later Moors Valley. Rebuilt in 1993 with a new chassis. Colour is Brunswick green with orange and black lining.
