A Price type E #111 alongside Climax #1650 on the Ellis & Burnand tramway at Ongarue. On this extensive tramway, the Climax worked between the mill and the Waione camp siding while the 'E' worked from there to the bush loading points. This Price type E was first of the series and was built in 1923 for Selwyn Timber Co. at Mangatapu.

The last Type E, #121, was built in 1937 and was quite different to those that preceded it. It was built for the Taupo Totara Timber Co. as their #10. It was a more refined machine than the earlier models as well as being heavier. It worked for the TTT until 1944 and then after being idle for a period, was engaged by the Public Works Department, as their #417, for construction work on the Kinlieth line.
