Subsequent post on the Critterslist says originally Electro-Metallurgical No. 16 at Marietta, OH, later a Union Carbide property. Some difference of opinion on builders number and date, 1951 or 1956.

During the too short 3 weeks I was privileged to be down under I was made welcome everywhere I went. It included spending the night in a cold unheated haunted stationmasters residence in Victoria, a Murray River steamboat trip from Echuca, tramcars, hardware stores we haven't seen the like of in the USA since Ike was in office, a privately owned steam powered sawmill, a crossing and junction interlocking tower on a very busy Melbourne city line that still had all its manual hardware - and this was just in Victoria!

Save up your vacation and sick time and go for at least a month - you won't regret it.
