History and use
The model is a Căile Ferate Române (State Railway of Romania) 2-8-4 142 Class steam locomotive.

Based on the Bundesbahn Österreich (BBÖ), 214 Class steam locomotive, 79 of these locomotives were built under license in Romania in the 1930s.

Bockholt produced four versions of this model in 1986. Three variations of the Bundesbahn Österreich 214 class and this Romanian version.

The model is housed in a wooden box along with a manufacturer's card and factsheet.

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.
