#7 Whilimine Victora
1927 Whilimine Victoria No. 7 narrow gauge
Whilimine Victora was manufactured in 1927 in Ruhr Valley in Germany.
This engine weights 8 tons and "one scoop of coal" would take it around the short track(now gone) if the fireman tries really hard.
It worked in an industrial yard during World War II and did receive damage at that time.
Prairie Village does have the original maintenance records of this engine.
It uses a 24 inch (60cm) track and came to Prairie Village from Mankato, MN in 1969.
The #7 Whilimine locomotive is currently kept in the Prairie Village Roundhouse and is on static display.
