Metre gauge oddity

Outside of industrial railways, there weren't many 0-6-0 tanks built for the Indian railways, and there were even fewer pannier tanks. But for some unknown reason the Jaipur State Railway took delivery of two metre 0-6-0PTs from W G Bagnall in 1942.

 

Later allocated to the Western Railway, TJ643 was seen dumped at Junagadh on 28 October 1978. It is now preserved at the National Railway Museum in New Delhi.
