History and use
The model is a K Bay Sts B (Royal Bavarian State Railway) 4-4-4 S 2/6 steam locomotive. The Royal Bavarian State Railway only had one S 2/6 locomotive, number 3201, which this is a model of. 3201 was built by Maffei in Munich in 1906. 3201 was retired in 1925 and was later sent to the Nuremberg Transport Museum where it is to this day. 3201 was never painted purple, its original colour was green.
Aster released their S 2/6 model in 1981 offering both green and violet versions. They produced 581 of the set in both electric and live steam editions.
The T-House model rail collection is a collection of national and international significance due to the size, quality and scope of the collection.
The collection, assembled over 30 years from the 1970s to the 1990s, holds 10 000+ models of locomotives, carriages and wagons. The collection is in excellent – often mint – condition. The models were collected by Mr Marsden Williams, who was born, raised and spent his life in the Wollongong area. Mr Williams was a business man who was renowned for philanthropy, he was an intensely private man, who nevertheless was well connected across the Australian business world. His 40 year fascination for model railways reflected his own interest in precision engineering, and his financial success allowed him to pursue his interest to a remarkable extent.
