The Taringamotu Totara Sawmill Company owned in total four steam locomotives and several draisines (locally known as jiggers).
In 1908, they bought a second hand Barclay 0-4-0 saddle tank steam locomotive manufactured in 1878.
It operated at a steam pressure of 180 pounds per square inch (12 bar) and had 10 ¹⁄₄ inches (260 mm) diameter cylinders, which were subsequently bored out to 10 ¹⁄₂ inches (270 mm).
In 1912, they replaced the boiler with a bespoke new boiler made by A & G Price, which was in service until the locomotive was taken out of use in 1951.
