Model (1:12 scale) of DAR locomotive No. 32 on February 15, 2009. The model was built in 1908 by Arthur Coldwell, a DAR employee in Halifax. It was damaged by the Halifax Explosion but subsequently repaired by the DAR's Kentville shops and used in Apple Blossom festival parades. The model was later purchased by Gary W. Ness who donated to the Wolfville library in 1993 when they restored the Wolfville Station as a new library. The model may be seen at the library today along with a model of observation car Annapols Royal. Painted in a 1920s paint scheme, it is one of the only surviving colour sources of the DAR's unique red and gold livery.
