    Hi 84RR, I missed that one but thanks for the web site.

    For those Queenslanders interested, there's a steam special on this weekend out at Biggenden, west of Maryborough.

    The weekend is the 100th birthday of Chowey bridge, just west of Biggenden so they are running a steam shuttle between Biggenden and the bridge.

    Here’s a picture I took last year of Chowey bridge.



    I’d love to get up there but to busy with work.

    For those living on the Gold Coast, there is a model railway exhibition being held at the Parkland Centre.

    There is going to be about 20 layout on display and I’ll be going to that one .

    Cheers.

    Hi disconut, where on earth is that and it looks fairly resent. :?:

    And yes, it was sure as hell trying hard to become a part of a garden railway. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

    Actually I have no idea. Recieved it today on the net.
    I wouldn't want to be drinking tea with that thing arriving! Strange set up for a rail station? Lack of stopping devices installed in the shed. :roll:

    Thanks anyway disconut.

    Back in the 70s there was an NSWGR 42 class ( if I remember correctly ) that tried a similar stunt at the old South Brisbane standard gauge terminus only this one just stuck it’s nose and front bogie through the wall and over the edge. One story up but didn’t make to the ground.

    Cheers

    that one is set up like that....

    its probably somewhere like disneyland....

    if it smashed through a wall and the railing there would have been rubble
    everywhere and people panicking....
    not a nice neat hand rail built between the engine and carriage for starters....

    sorry if i spoilt the fun.......


    i still have no idea where that is though.....

    Hi Tony,
    You are right. The stones on the ground are nice and neat too. No oil or rubbish leaking out of it either. Looks neat though at first glance.

    When I was growing up thats all there were! ops: ops:

    We lived about 200 metres from a railway station with a coal siding.
    Never went cold in winter. :wink:

    I remember running out of spendable pennies all of the time. The shops did not want the ones I had. They were awful thin and quite a bit bigger too. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
