Bonfante Gardens

So where is it's new track and when was the photo taken?

As said above--Bonfante Gardens. It previously operated at another section of the park's previous incarnation. Photo taken sometime in 1999 or 2000.

Please reach out to me if you have any additional literature and/or media involving these Crowns. Apparently there was another one, a purple #3 that complimented this blue #5 seen here. I credit Locoboy5150 on Burnsland for all available information presented here.

It would seem even with blue #5 being converted to propane, the emissions were far too impractical for the existing track layout that went through the greenhouse built for the park. Thus, the CP Huntingtons from Chance Rides were the far more practical choice despite not being true steam locomotives. A real shame that nobody can seem to find any more information from the auction in September of '04 that these locomotives were sold at to private collectors.
