M6 (ex-M9 RS&H #7429 of 1951) had only started its retirement in mid-1971 when there was a mass condemnation of M/Ma boilers. The loco found a reprieve when purchased by Bob Butrims in 1975 and eventually moved to the fledgling Bellarine Peninsula Railway in 1979.
On the other hand, Q5 (Perry Engineering #241 of 1922) was fortunate enough to escape the scrap drive of 1965 and found refuge in Hobart Roundhouse until the Tasmanian Transport Museum Society completed purchase and had a site to move it to.
