Brick Arch with Fire 20240502 14 06 35 Pro

A modest fire underneath the arch. I was lighter-upper and fireman for loco 1037 for the completion of the annual boiler test. We also did some runs with our 3 operational carriages out from and back into our station for the local TV news crew. They were invited to DownsSteam as we now have approval to carry paying public passengers on Queensland Rail's track. The first run should happen on 18th of May. May 2024.

Thanks Diana. I wish I could feel the warmth, it's become cool, for Toowoomba.

Well taken and it's good that you now have the old loco running again, Graham.

This is in the BB18 1/4. It still has the electricals, the fireman's side injector plus some other minor issues to be sorted before it can venture back to the QR tracks. Very close though.
