Isn't it time the Queenslanders used the correct gauge for their maps ?? Specially for steam locos. A loco built for 3'6" looks odd if put on std gauge track.

They are by Colhad, the caption underneath the picture also says the fore-mentioned

Oh.... i diddn't see that haha.
Thanks guys
A couple from my early VR Bushlands Route:
V527 waits patiently for the Mixed to arrive at National Park
The mixed has arrived so it's time to depart
Due to there being no turning facilities at the moment (but being installed
) the K has to trail the way back
And look whats at the front! A brand new (well relatively new
) Tait car to lead they way back home. It is seen here crossing the creek.
Cheers,
Tom

Hey Patchy,
Here is a quote from Bill69 in another thread:
"I aggree with Caleb, Greg Baker's track is nice track, kuid 44640 38003,
and for bridges and turntables I use kuid 35412 38081 no balast."
I hope this is suitable.

Of course, Bill. You do know that now you have to build a 3 foot 6 Steamer like this..

Then we got to set about and find narrow gauge bogies for all the stuff still not converted. Although I note so many have already been done!
Without doubt, you need only one really good NG QR map out there and everybody else will pitch in and make 3 foot 6 the norm!
Cheers

i agree, with you we need the B/BB-18 1/4 4-6-2 steamer.
speaking of maps i can convert my ipswich map to three foot Six but there are several items that need to be modified for narrow guage running. rod will be sedning you a pm about this.
and everyone some good screenies keep it up.

Rod,
If you can find me a GOOD large scale drawing of said loco I'll put it in my "To Do" basket. I am working on another 42" project at the moment.

Hi Bill
I have one but it is not that great, however this engine has been built many times as a live steamer, I am sure their are better drawings out there. And of course after that offer I feel sure our Queensland mates will go crazy now searching them out
Anybody?
QR Steam
Cheers

I have been looking at Dreddmanz site, and there is already a BB18 1/4 there, though it would be good if he would finish most of his content
