Hi,
I left High School and joined Queensland Rail as a Locomotive Engineman, spending 10 years in the job.
During that time I only had one photo taken of me at work, the locomotive was a 90 tonne, mainline locomotive powered by a GM two stroke engine. It’s running number was 2117.
As good fortune would have it, a local boutique maker of QR rolling stock make a HO version of that particular loco.
It was great to reconnect with my past in scale, I’m hoping to do a small HO layout in the near future focusing on a Queensland Railway theme.
I was amazed by the interest and following that era of QR generates in my home State.
Cheers
Rob
