During 1991 a out of use Fowler #2 diesel mechanical locomotive was purchased by a group of BBR members from Isis Central Sugar Mill in Queensland.

It arrived on the back of a flatbed truck on the 20th of January 1992. After fitting with "Jones" couplers and Vacuum brake equipment this locomotive entered regular service in July 1992.

It was named "Rosalie" after Whiteman Park Ranger - Rosalie (Lee) Heaney who was tragically killed in a rockslide whilst holidaying in the USA in May 1992. Lee had been a major force in many of the special events operated in the park and was well known by all of the park community.
