It is a great place, I could see myself living in that two story house there... But the crossing bells would drive you mad untill you adjust !

Kind Regards

Dreddy put the revised "1924" type PB-15 together after a chat he and i had through yahell. the model is based on the auran model but has been reworked. it has a four digit number panel allowing variation in numbers. i have a demo model and have so far run it on one test run. if you wish a copy of the demo model you wil have to ask dreddman for one.

all

so far no qr fan has caught on to the twist i placed in the last screen shot.
hopefully one of you will get it.

cheers

I'm not entirely sure, but I am thinking that the later batch of PB15's had a more complex side-rod construction then the ones featured in your screeny, Ghosty? Mind you, I am usually crap at this kinda stuff, and its a very wild guess. I can't really notice anything else...

I'll take a stab and say that it is something to do with the numbers. The second has only two and not four? I'm with you Mitchey, unless its right in front of me........WHOOOSH.. thru to the keeper.

Hang on, wasn't PB15 1052 Re-Numbered to a 3 digit number?

Wait! I just got it! PB15 1052 wasn't a PB15 at all. While the PB15's were constructed by Walkers, Evan, Andersen, Phellan and Co, Toowoomba Foundry and Kitson and Co, the Ipswich Workshops built a PB15 for the Aramac Shire Council in 1924 that had a larger tender and different boiler. This was the 1924 design. This locomotive was later sold to Queensland Rail and renumbered 12.

There Ghosty! Thats gotta be close! :hehe:

Mitchey/Lenice

the answer to the riddle is that 1052 and 12 are one in the same loco. there were 31 1924 version PB-15's made with walkers of maryborough making 30 of them, the other one was made by Ipswich Workshops for the aramac shire tramway. when the aramac tramway went diesel the pb-15 used was offered to qr who bought it and numbered it 1052, before subsequently renumbering it 12. so in a way it had to do with the numbering.

ok all you queenslanders let see how much you know, I have been sent a series of photos of a station building, unfortunately there are no dimensions, I can guestimate as most doors are 7 feet high, what i would like to know is the "normal " size of weatherboard up there do they use 6 inch planks? if you know I can do better than guesstimating what is the normal size of wooden windows on old stations? I would really like to do this building as it is very attractive.

cheers

Last Days of Steam on the Watsons Bay line

As you can been seen in the shots taken in the early 1900's the Over head Trolley wire is in place and the Days of Stream Motors is numbered on the Watsons Bay line of Sydney Tramways.

bear thats nice

Mr chugg, yes please, the one I want to do is Longreach, but that is probably out of reach for most people

any help appreciated particularily the basics like length and width if you can get the size of the weatherboard I can figure the height from that.

cheers
