Australian Steam Powered Whim. Only 4 ever made.

The steam Whim was designed to collect and deliver trees into a sawmill. It is believed they could lift 19 tons of timber.
The crew of a steam whim consisted of a driver, a fireman to operate the whim, and a faller and swamper on the ground to prepare and attach the logs for carrying.

Is this where the saying “I did it on a whim” came from? (Joking)

The last restored one was originally found on the Pickering Brook Heritage website which I could not find.
