Thanks for the excellent video. 15:00 beautiful farming country. Immediately after that showing the historic photos on the carriage walls was a bonus. I grew up in Drayton and would lie awake in bed hearing the goods trains struggling up the bank from the creek up through The station and onward to Harristown.
The line continues on to Warwick, where you can junction off to Thallon or Stanthorpe. The locomotive never came with a steam dome cover, so a new one will likely have to be made.
@@paul1089 The turntable is still really under test. It is slow but it is steady with not too much strain on the drive arrangement under normal operation. Better that pushing it around manually.
I dunno if i am sold on the lettering on the tender or not but it might just be because I am used to seeing 1079 and 1089 with blank tenders. I felt the same with 1072 down at the Zig Zag with their lettering on the tender years ago. There is something not quite 'right' about it but i find it hard to put my finder on what exactly it is that makes me feel like that. It just doesn't 'mesh' with the rest of the engine and I am not sure if it is the font, the layout or the color that doesn't work.
What’s funny is that none of the Australian steam locomotives have lettering on their tank, tender or cabs because they didn’t want to follow on what Great Britian Railways did to “identify” their railways (with diesels as the only exceptions)
@@RedtailFox1 Also, in your response to the lettering of BB18 1/4 N.o 1037; personally I’d think gold/pale yellow would be a better colour colour choice and maybe increase the font size to “advertise” better
