Weekend Steam: Let's Go Down Under To A Warmer Clime!

Be sure to take a good look at 6029.  It is really something with engines on both ends and the boiler in the middle.  Good Pick, Merle!

Re: 6029. Wow. What a beautiful engine. So classy, so good looking. It look as if the old girl has her work clothes on and is ready to go to work. Another engine and country I will probably not be able to see in person. Did those style engines also run in South Africa and Rhodesia?
Thanks Merle and David.

Beautiful engines, and I didn't know that the Garratts and the Mallets were both articulated, and they used a high and low pressure steam arrangement.
