1431 was built by Clyde Engineering in NSW in 1957 for NZ Railways. It was sold to Steam Incorporated in 1988 and, after restoration, returned to mainline service in 2009. Working a Grand Circle excursion via Levin to Palmerston North and back to Wellington via Wairarapa Line, it is seen crossing a bridge between tunnels in the Manawatu Gorge.
