Spent the night in the old rail yards at Ravenshoe. Right next to the old rail station and this Steam Loco. Apparently the loco has been restored so that it runs. The local ?? society is in the processing of getting government approval to run it up and down the line.
It was built in the Ipswich workshops. Not sure if Dad recognises the number at all.
That’s amazing that you all met up, without planning! What a happy circumstance. 🙂
I’m almost certain dad will know that number and the train – will make sure he sees this. 🙂
Thanks Annette. I am not sure he will remember the number. I asked him on the phone. He was miffed that it was painted blue though. Blue was only for small yard locos apparently.
Yes, I got the same response re the colours. So he has found the link and looked at some photos. 🙂 Think we will need to make a bookmark or something though so he can get back to it. Maybe send an email with the link in it whenever you add more photos.
