1994 Old Ghan engine coming along by FailingMemory

They have both steam and diesel locomotives from the old Ghan railway which was narrow gauge. They try to keep both types of engine operating, although as the staffing is by volunteers, which type of locomotive is in use will depend on the qualifications of those on duty that particular day. On our day we were running by steam and we came along to where the diesel was standing. If the weather gets too hot or windy they will also use the diesel for safety sake. Taken with a Pentax camera and Pentax 28 mm shift lens on Kodachrome 200 film.

Midland Railway Single 1896 by Mike Jeffries

Arguably one of the most graceful locomotives ever to have run on rails this class of 4-2-2 express engine designed by Johnson and built at the Midland Railways works at Derby were further enhanced by the wonderful Crimson Lake livery. The single driver enjoyed a brief period of popularity in the 1890s due to the recent development of the steam sander which helped adhesion on starting from rest but growing train weights led designers to revert to coupled wheel-sets, but lacking the fricton of coupling rods the single had a superior free running capability which made for economy on coal. Painted for a client in acylics on board 20”x30” about 8 years ago, today I’d use oils to exploit the colour of the loco and fade off the distance more and perhaps soften the smoke. Commissions?

Smoke and Signals by Jonathan Newton Vistavisions

Locomotive 8A leave the terminus at Belgrave in a thick covering of smoke and drifts down hill towards to Monbulk Creek trestle bridge. The Singal on th emast shows the driver that the line is clear and that he can take his train safely out onto the main line.

Recent Work

Steam locomotive of CFL by trainmaniac

The national railway row 42 (also as the second war railroad engine called) originated from the consideration that the application of the class 52 with her 15 Mp axle load on numerous would be too uneconomical for Mp 17-18 axle load to developed distances. The German imperial traffic ministry required the development of a heavier and more efficient war railroad engine in January, 1942. After protracted preliminary works one decided on one of the row 52 similar, substantially simplistic, nevertheless heavier design. One renounced the different constructive simplifications which hadn’t proved themselves with the class 52. The buying of twenty CFL locomotives in Austria caused some whirl in Luxembourg. In October, 1948 the general manager of the CFL went to Vienna to check the machines and to negotiate about the purchase price. The whole matter ran then quite clouded in secrecy. To attain clarification about the railroad engines standing in a queue for the sales, the land association of the Luxembourgian railway employees turned in October, 1948 to the colleagues of the Austrian association of labour unions. The Luxembourgian trade union feared because that wanted to acquire the CFL old, put down machines. /
