Perry Engineering, based in Mile End, South Australia, was known for building steam locomotives for the sugar industry and other industrial users.
History
Perry produced distinctively Australian-designed steam locomotives, often filling the gap when British imports were difficult or expensive. They were robust and well-regarded.
