009 0-4-2 Cracker loco for TU-9a

One of Genevieve and co. 's many war babies, in 1915 eight kits of the vari side tank locos, four stumpy class tank engines and two crackers for the trench railways near baie des plaines avant. The crackers performed excellently on the lightly laid rails on the trench railways at baie des plaines avant but were too small for the railway. The crackers were quickly sent back and rebuilt to have larger bored out cylinders, a coal bunker riding over a new trailing wheel, and improved firebox design. They arrived back in France in November 1915 and worked well, although they never were used for large trains like the other locomotives shipped out. In 1916 an order of 20 was placed for them to be used on trench railways as backups for the Kerr Stuart Joffre class. They were sold on as military surplus in 1920 and many ended up being used on cane railways in Australia were there was ten, Fiji were there was six, Indonesia were there was three, and Hawaii had one. In 1925 more began to be built as the Greater Cracker class, although only with the cab as an optional feature.
In total there was 42 built.
In the 1930s Genevieve & co. started producing Bagasse burning locomotives, the final of which was built in 1968 for the Port Arroo Sugar Cane Mill, this ended up being the last steam locomotive built by the company; named Lucas he worked on a rapidly reducing scale until 1980, being used three times between then and 1990. In 2008 he was sold to the owner of the Bryn Bach light railway's manager and donated to The Port Preservation Society in 2011, after a heavy overhaul and conversion to burn coal, he was returned to service in 2016 and now works the first weekend every month pulling demonstration goods trains, short passenger runs and shunting at the port, on the other weekends the locomotive running is Pat.
One is preserved at the Menzies Creek Museum on the Puffing Billy Railway, named Mike he was used at the Macknade Sugar Mill in Queensland from when he was built in 1925 until 1968.
One is preserved at the Ida Bay Railway, named Ivy, she worked at Racecourse Sugar Mill until 1962. She was preserved in 1971 by a private owner and was later sold to the Ida Bay Railway. Ivy was on static display until the railway's closure and she is now stored in the loco sheds.
