Hello Everyone
@NSWGR_46 class
Very nice looking DH locomotive, should be a nice performer on NG QHR Brooloo; but the logo should be red; as I have been cross checking with the offical Queensland Railways paint schemes handbook dated 1971 which was formally issued to all QR Railway Workshops from the Chief Mechanical Engineers & Workshop Sup. Ipswich - the offical "Swiggle" as affectionally known by QR Employees; according to the handbook should be according to the notes on the DH Class;
"..The logo must be painted with Dulux P0H49 - Red Box [RED], the loco must be painted with a light brunswick green with a 5inch white rectangluar stripe with a gold 1 inch gold stripe..."

@ Ghosty, over time the logos started to fade in some class members as you refferenced, become a yellow due to the harsh queensland climate and the some of the locomotives getting stored in the open air as such the case in Tropical North Queensland when I was noting as a young boy growing up in townsville during the 1990's watching one of the last DH's rostered in the town shunt in North Yard, it had a slightly half orange - half red. All QR Diesels [ except Clyde 1461 & English Electric 1281] had red swiggles. The paint schemes handbook states in misc on page 130; regarding decials, cabside numbers and logos.
With Upmost Regards

Evening all
Just some shots of the Sunny yesterday heading north.
Humming nicely through Albion
Clearing the 60kph through Strathpine
Further north, and somewhere north of Beerburrum we travel through slightly more curved sections
Put into the loop at Landsborough to cross an Up electric
and out the other end and onto the north coast.
With uTmost regards

@Ryan, such a shame; they would have looked nice on the nearly completed Gympie North.
Would any chance, have any QR Signal & Pointwork Diagrams for the Suburban - Interurban Network, as they would help the QR City Train Project and my planned model railway of Ascot.

Looks fantastic!A "little" bit north and "slightly" west of Townsville [actually a fair bit north west of Townsville] is Forsayth with a line heading into Cairns. There is a 20 minute YouTube doco from the early 80's about the Freight / Mixed Train which ran from Forsayth to Cairns in Northern Queensland. Starts with the train hauled by double headed DH class and later swaps for a 1620 EE loco. That should keep the DH and EE folks happy.

If the link is broken search youtube for "Doco from the early 80's about the Freight / Mixed Train which ran from Forsayth to Cairns in Northern Queensland" as that is copied off the page..

Just a quick shot of a grain train headed by two EDI LDP class locomotives on a stormy evening.
Oh, and I was also wondering if anyone had any recommendations on any QRN grain hoppers to use? I had a brief search on the dls earlier without much success. Cheers.

Thank you for the pictures or links of the CSR Class send. Big thanks go to young Mick again, he even scanned and send me some much needed pics and info. Just to show what I am doing on only my 3rd day of working on the CSR Class:
sitting higher than your average locomotive...
cabs compared side by side with the SCT cab...
and here side by side to see some differences...
Of course it helps a lot when I can use some parts from the SCT Class locomotive. I still need to tone down the blue window tinting, no bogies made yet, front and middle body is not finished, just logo and some paint slapped on to see what it might look like. Plus all underframe stuff, the main body and the roofing details still to be added plus lots more. Considering it is only my third day on this project, I think I done alright so far.
@ Michael Gitsham, did you get my email last week with the meshes and the instructions as you have asked me? If you did, a confirmation or a little thank you would have been appreciated, as I put some considerable effort into making these meshes and the tutorials of how to do these meshes. Otherwise I might not do any more favours to anyone, thanks to you, if not appreciated and will spend my time more wisely and productive.
If you did not receive it (I can not see why not as it did not bounce and as you gave me your email address), well my apologies for jumping the gun.
Cheers

No contest, yellow corner will win anytime and anywhere :hehe:.
As the SCT/LDP Class out dragged the NRs some time ago when these were tested somewhere in NSW (I think), they will do it anytime and anywhere, no sweat
. (I should have toned down the AN Class engine specs too, just to make sure :hehe

Lol.
Stay tuned for the results.

1969 covers; N1 / N2 Brisbane Limited Express, N3 /N4 Brisbane Express [via Kyogle], N17 /N18 Brisbane Express [via Wallangarra]. QLD trains are Sunlander, including dining car travel stages, Rockhampton mail and Wallangarra Brisbane connection for N17/N18.

Quiet tonight? Where is everyone?
Anyway, so I have to post a screenshot or two to keep the flag flying:
perhaps this is a better picture:
making progress on the CSR Class, today I started on the bogies to give me a bit of change and that is as far as I got. Boy, these new bogies are hard to model only from these few pictures available, which don't even show what I need to see but I will get there. As usual, ignore all the extra bits and pieces not in place yet including the steps, they are from the SCT Class and need major surgery to make CSR steps out of them.

In addition to the timetables I mentioned yesterday, other Railpage members have produced a great deal more including QLD Lander train times from the 22 July 1962 QR public Timetable, plus some mail trains. Look in Railpage’s Queensland section for the “Old Lander Train Timetables” thread http://www.railpage.com.au/f-p1737512.htm#1737512
