Great shots all.

Thanks Davido for the updated 82's and NHVF's. They look good on my new Hunter-themed route.

Matt.
 
on the upside great news for Heritage Railway Groups in Queensland, a perfect opperunity to reclaim some of our rollingstock just in time for QR 150th in 2015.

I really need to stop reading this users posts because they always annoy me no end. How can you be so flippant about what is happening at the ZZR? The volunteers down there have put so much life into restoring and maintaining the locomotives and cars, and all you can do is pass off some obligatory lip service and then greedily think about the photo opportunities? I'm disgusted.

I was a bit stunned to read the item on ZZR in the May Rail Digest, to me, I felt reading as if someone was airing the dirty washing or personal sour grapes in public. To me I read it as they were relying to much on paid employees and not on volenteers and it got to a point were it could not be sustained.

I do feel for the people who have donated time and money to ZZR over the years. But all is not lost yet will have to wait and see if the state govenment will come to the rescue.

If you were to talk to someone who is an active volunteer with the railway, you'll find that the "article" was more of an editorial, written by someone with an agenda - it's a sad turn of events, but articles like that hinder, rather than help.
 
the zig zag railway went into the ground because they decided they should pay people to work there and not volunteer so they loss money to repair engines and the line itself.
 
Cheers for that Michael, I think i already have all the Bigman's stuff but forgot he had sign's so this is just what i needed so muchly appreciated mate.
