This looks well engineered. You (and t'other half) will have it up and running pretty soon I reckon.
Pleased to hear that the Mary Valley Rlwy will be reopening. Will they still run the AEC railbus? I love that machine!
Hi, yes, RM76 "Red Rocket" (AEC railbus) will be operating soon. Just a few weeks ago it had a run in the Gympie yard to confirm some things for the new operating manuals. Naturally we all went for a ride.
This Pic is of Peter driving with a smile of genuine enjoyment.
While on the subject of old QR railmotors on AEC truck/bus chassis, RM55 "Red Fred" operates at the Rosewood Railway on the last Sunday of each month and also for charters

is having a $35,000 overhaul restoration job at the Ipswich Heritage Workshops and will return to a new fully enclosed lock up shed at Kunkala. I am involved on the inside with a couple of these heritage railways, with other good people slowly shifting the old cultures to a brighter future. However this is toil and very hard.
