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.
I will consult with a rail expert and get back to you!
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.
