Malcolm Moore was a Melbourne firm, which made these industrial locos.
That railway served a limestone quarry, taking the stone to a wharf for shipping to Hobart, where it was processed to calcium carbide and hence acetylene for purifying zinc during smelting at Risdon.
It finished operating in 1975, but has had two eras as a tourist railway. Most/all of the MMs have survived. They were reengined at some stage, but I can't find my photo showing the maker. I suspect Ford or Fordson.
