Just been through your blog, some really interesting stuff on there and superbly modelled. Keep the updates coming.

Forgive my ignorance of Australian steam, but that 4-4-2T a Beyer-Peacock? It looks like an enlarged version of the 4-4-0Ts they built for the Metropolitan and various other UK railways.

Thanks!

Pete, don't worry, theres just too many trains around! Yes, it is of Beyer Peacock descent, and yes it was 'modelled' off the Met's tank engines. Heres a brief description of the real thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_South_Wales_Z13_class_locomotive

It's a nice looking loco - I'm impressed that 3 of them still survive, which is not a bad survival rate.
