Pacific Lumber Co. (TPL Co) Caboose #5 -

Mon, 2014-07-28 16:45 — ratled

I really don't know my cabs, what type of caboose was this? I'm looking for a winter project and saw this on Charles Smiely's "Southern Pacific, When the Empire was Intact". I have seen the old kit but it looks nothing like this screen capture. I think it could be fun, even with the a matching Baldwin .... maybe next winter for that.

TIA

6029 Garratt under trial

Mon, 2014-07-28 15:19 — Oztrainz

Hi all,

For a period of several years the Canberra ARHS (Australian Railway Historical Society) group have been quietly working away to return the former New South Wales Government Railways AD60 class Garratt locomotive 6029 to service. The AD60 class were the largest standard-gauge Garratt locomotives ever built, with a 4-8-4+4-8-4 wheel arrangement. Only 4 of the 42 of these locomotives built remain in existence, and Canberra ARHS has their 6029 moving under its own power again.
