    Does anyone know details or history of this loco? Regret I just grabbed a quick phone pic in passing without being able to have a closer look.

    It looks like the steam outline 0-4-0 loco built by Keefs for Singapore Zoo in 1991. They also built a second 4-4-0 steam outline loco for the zoo - photos of both in Alan Keef's autobiography. Is there still a railway at the zoo?

    Not quite brunswick green is it? At least it's eco friendly!

    The zoo safari is by a one of those road trains... (You know the type).

    Martin if you have chance do the Night Safari... And on foot.. Parts of it are a little creepy, nice chicken skewers and food though.

    Look to see if anything remains of the monorail on Sentosa if you have chance,and there's some ex-GMT leyland Olympians, with Northern Counties body work, converted to open to doing shuttles round the island.
