You understate things so well Sarah. Much steel to replace, not to mention air gear, electrical gear, cooling gear and engine.

Not to mention volunteers with a wide range of skills. My relevant ones are in wiring.

Yes, this type does seem to serve heritage rail well. In addition to being Australian designed and manufactured though using an imported engine and cooling system.

Hi Graham
A wonderful and interesting set of picture, which I like very much!
Very nice to see restoration, but I do wonder the point at which it becomes easier to bulld new..
We have one locomotive running in Wales which was a total new build, except for the reversing lever from the original, hence a 'restoration project'! (Strangely, I don't have a pic here)
Best Wishes, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!
