3		A10	0-4-2	Neilson 1214 of 1866	Workshop	The Workshops, Ipswich	No.3 was one of the early locomotives built for the Queensland Government Railways and lasted in service until 1914. Fortunately it was retained for preservation and has been displayed in a number of locations over the years. No.3 is currently being restored to operation at The Workshops museum, Ipswich.
6		A10	0-4-2	Neilson 1170 of 1865	Operational	The Workshops, Ipswich	No.6 featured as an operational locomotive in QR centenary celebrations in 1965. It was plinthed within the former Redbank Railway Museum from 1970 to 1991. No.6 has since been transferred to the new Ipswich Railway Workshops Museum as one of the prime exhibits.
10		4D10	2-4-2T	Neilson 1209 of 1866	Plinthed (Boiler only)	Caboolture	Displayed at Caboolture is the boiler of 4D10-class loco no.10. This interesting relic was submerged in Lagoon Creek, Caboolture for many decades, having last worked as a stationary boiler at a railway water supply facility.
131		4D9	2-4-2T	Dubs 1415 of 1880	Workshop	Don River Railway, Inveresk, Tasmania	No.131 has an interesting history, including use at Childers Sugar Mill and construction duties on the Macquarie Harbour breakwater at Strahan, Tasmania. For many years it was a static exhibit at the Don River Railway but has more recently moved to their Inveresk outstation and dismantled as the start of restoration.
202		A10	2-4-0	Vulcan 802 of 1877 / Fairlie 602 of 1877	Workshop	Croydon	A10 No.202 is one of the fascinating survivors on the Normanton-Croydon railway in the Queensland Gulf territory. No.202 is currently being rebuilt to operation by Croydon Shire Council.
203		A10	2-4-0	Vulcan 803 of 1877 / Fairlie 604 of 1877	Derelict	Normanton	A10 No.203 is one of the fascinating survivors on the Normanton-Croydon railway in the Queensland Gulf territory. Its boiler ended its days at the Clarina pump, whilst the loco frames and tender remain at Normanton.
204		A10	2-4-0	Vulcan 804 of 1877 / Fairlie 603 of 1877	Derelict	Croydon	A10 No.204 is one of the fascinating survivors on the Normanton-Croydon railway in the Queensland Gulf territory.
28		B12	2-6-0	Kitson 2042 of 1875	Derelict	Normanton	B12 No.28 is one of the fascinating survivors on the Normanton-Croydon railway in the Queensland Gulf territory.
31		B12	2-6-0	Avonside 1179 of 1877 / Fairlie 587 of 1877	Dismantled, incomplete	Aramac Tramway Museum	B12 No.31 was purchased second hand by the Aramac Shire Council in 1911 for their Aramac Tramway. Although the copper inner firebox was scrapped in 1939, the rest of the locomotive remained at Aramac. The boiler shell and smokebox also survive in Brisbane, after an earlier private preservation attempt.
40		B12	2-6-0	Dubs 1136 of 1878	Components	Cooktown	This loco was transferred to the isolated Cooktown-Laura railway in 1910, and written off in 1928. Some components remain at Cooktown in the former railway yards.
48		B13	4-6-0	Dubs 1741 of 1883	Stored	The Workshops, Ipswich	B13 No.48 is an example of the original short-wheelbase B13 design, as opposed to later models which had an extended driving wheel base. It was sold to Bingera Mill in 1944 but donated back to Queensland Rail in 1969 for display at the former Redbank Railway Museum, where it was located from 1970 to 1992. No.48 is now located in a storage shed at the Ipswich Railway Workshops Museum and not available for public viewing. I believe it is awaiting removal of boiler lagging and repainting before it can be displayed in the museum proper.
79		B13	4-6-0	Dubs 2062 of 1885	Display (boiler only)	Esk	This B13 boiler is survivor from a railway water supply facility. It lay abandoned beside Redbank Creek at Esk for many years until retrieved for repair and display.
161		B13	4-6-0	Kitson 2894 of 1885	Display	Normanton	B13 No.161 is one of the fascinating survivors on the Normanton-Croydon railway in the Queensland Gulf territory. No.161 is currently displayed at Normanton station in ‘Gulflander’ livery, after many decades of languishing incomplete in the sidings.
234		B13	4-6-0	Phoenix 15 of 1892	Derelict	Normanton	B13 No.234 is one of the fascinating survivors on the Normanton-Croydon railway in the Queensland Gulf territory.
-		?	?	?	Abt-rack pinion drive	Mount Morgan Railway Museum	This fascinating relic is all that remains of the QGR Abt tank locomotives which worked the rack railway to Mount Morgan.
290		B15	4-6-0	Yorkshire Engine Co 532 of 1895	Stored	The Workshops, Ipswich	No.290 was plinthed at the former Redbank Railway Museum from 1970 to 1992. It is now located in a storage shed at the rear of ‘The Workshops’ museum, Ipswich, awaiting removal of boiler lagging and repainting before it can be publicly displayed.
299		B15	4-6-0	Walkers 1 of 1897	Display	Maryborough (Railway Station)	No.299 was the first locomotive built by Walkers Limited, Maryborough. It is now proudly displayed at the old Maryborough station in recognition of its special place in the history of the city. This locomotive hauled occasional tour trains on the nearby Pialba (Hervey Bay) branch in the 1970's and 80's, but alas that line has since closed.
444		PB15	4-6-0	Walkers 89 of 1908	Display	The Workshops, Ipswich	No.444 is an example of the Stephenson's link valve motion variant of the PB15 class. No.444 was plinthed within the former Redbank Railway Museum from 1970 to 1992. It is now proudly displayed at the entrance to the Ipswich Railway Workshops Museum.
448		PB15	4-6-0	Walkers 93 of 1908	Operational	Queensland Pioneer Steam Railway, Box Flat	No.448 has for many years been the flagship locomotive for the Queensland Pioneer Steam Railway for their operations near Ipswich. No.448 has recently been fully rebuilt and returned to operation by the QPSR following a 12 year overhaul.
454		PB15	4-6-0	Walkers 99 of 1909	Workshop	Bellarine Railway, Queenscliff, Victoria	No.454 operates tourist trains on the Bellarine Peninsular Railway, near Geelong, Victoria. No.454 was out of service as at March 2007 pending overhaul. Apparently the overhaul of 454 will now start in earnest in 2010, following completion of T251's rebuilding and return to service.
732		PB15	4-6-0	Walkers 379 of 1926	Stored	The Workshops, Ipswich	No.732 is an example of the more modern Walschaerts valve gear variant of the PB15 class. No. 732 was used for tours on QR network but is currently awaiting overhaul at the Ipswich Railway Workshops Museum.
738		PB15	4-6-0	Walkers 385 of 1926	Display	Rosewood Railway, ARHS Qld	No.738 had been used on tourist trains on the Rosewood Railway at Kunkala, near Ipswich, until late 2004 when stopped for boiler overhaul. A spare PB15 boiler is also stored at the museum & workshops at Kunkala.
106		C16	4-8-0	Toowoomba Foundry 28 of 1914	Operational	Darling Downs Historical Rail Society Ltd, Toowoomba	No.106 is the last survivor of 152 members of the C16 class, a handsome locomotive design with saturated steam boilers and slide valves. No.106 was displayed at the former Redbank Railway Museum from 1970 until that museum’s closure in 1992, and then stored at the QR Redbank workshops. No.106 moved to Toowoomba on 26 October 2001 and has since been restored to operation by the Darling Downs Historical Rail Society (DownsSteam).
398		B13½	0-6-0	Ipswich Railway Workshops 4 of 1904	Display	The Workshops, Ipswich	No.398 was one of six locomotives in this class, which were built as 0-6-0T but converted to tender engines in the 1930’s. No.398 was retained at Ipswich Railway Workshops following its withdrawal from revenue traffic, and was known as ‘Pompey' at Ipswich. Upon final retirement it was preserved at Ipswich Railway Workshops and has now been included in the new ‘The Workshops’ railway museum, where it is displayed in the museum forecourt.
2		C17	4-8-0	Evans Anderson Phelan 169 of 1923	Stored	The Workshops, Ipswich	No. 2 was plinthed within the former QR Redbank Railway Museum from 1970 to 1992, providing an example of an early C17 locomotive. (Sister loco No. 1000 provided a contrasting example of a more modern C17.) No. 2 is now located in a storage shed at the rear of The Workshops museum, Ipswich, awaiting removal of boiler lagging and repainting before it can be publicly displayed.
45		C17	4-8-0	Evans Anderson Phelan 168 of 1923	Stored	Mary Valley Heritage Railway, Gympie	No.45 was plinthed in Andrew Fisher Park, Gympie for many years. Following the scrapping of sister park loco C17 No.820 at Gympie in 1982, No.45 was also threatened with scrapping until concerned locals stepped in to the rescue and it was transferred to the Gympie & District Historical Society Museum on 4 January 1984. Here No.45 was gradually restored to operation, being recommissioned on 10 October 1992. No.45 was transferred to the newly-formed Mary Valley Heritage Railway on 17 September 1996 and subsequently hauled the first ‘Valley Rattler’ .train on 23 May 1998, becoming the flagship locomotive of the MVHR fleet.
251		C17	4-8-0	Walkers 327 of 1920	Plinthed	Townsville	No.251 is the oldest of the surviving C17 locos. It is displayed under a weather roof near the live steam association park in central Townsville, and had previously been plinthed at The Strand on the Townsville beachfront.
253		C17	4-8-0	Evans Anderson Phelan 158 of 1921	Workshop	Mary Valley Heritage Railway, Gympie	No.253 had been plinthed in a park at Mundubbera until 2003 when acquired by the Mary Valley Heritage Railway (MVHR) in a swap with C17 965. No. 253 is currently under restoration in the MVHR workshop and will be known as 'Mundubbera' when recommissioned. This C17 locomotive is unusual in that it carries an additional sand dome which was fitted to assist tender-first running on the Yandaran line, which did not have a turntable.
705		C17	4-8-0	Evans Anderson Phelan 176 of 1926	Display	Mary Valley Heritage Railway, Imbil	No.705 was plinthed for many years in a kindergarten in Brisbane's inner suburb of Spring Hill, where it carried the plates and identity of scrapped sister No.752. During 2009, No.705 was acquired by the Mary Valley Heritage Railway and relocated to their Gympie base. After several years stored at the Gympie running shed, No.705 has now moved to Imbil on the Mary Valley branch line and placed on static display. Here it is being cosmetically restored by the Imbil Progress Association.
721 (719)		C17	4-8-0	Walkers 347 of 1922	Plinthed	Jandowae	No.719 is plinthed at Jandowae, west of Toowoomba, where it is displayed under a weather roof. Recent investigation and inspection has shown this locomotive is actually No.721 rather than No.719.
720		C17	4-8-0	Walkers 348 of 1922	Stored	Rosewood Railway, ARHS Qld	No.720 had been plinthed at Goondiwindi until donated to the Australian Railway Historical Society (Queensland Division) in 1993. No.720 received a complete overhaul by ARHS volunteers with a successful first test run at the Rosewood Railway Museum on 10 June 2007. No.720 has been named ‘Ken Biggs’ and was the regular traffic loco on the Rosewood Railway Museum’s line between Kunkala and Cabanda stations on the former Marburg branch line.
761		C17	4-8-0	Walkers 422 of 1927	Under Restoration	Queensland Pioneer Steam Railway, Box Flat	No.761 had been plinthed in at Mitchell Memorial Park for many decades. In March 2019 it was announced that C17 No.761 would leave Mitchell for a new home at the Queensland Pioneer Steam Railway (QPSR) at Swanbank, near Ipswich. The intention is for No.761 to eventually be returned to steam for use on the QPSR Swanbank line, and the loco will be named ‘Booringa’ in recognition of its links to the town of Mitchell. No.761 had arrived at the QPSR Box Flat workshops by February 2020.
763		C17	4-8-0	Walkers 424 of 1927	Stored	Rosewood Railway, ARHS Qld	No.763 had been plinthed in the Brisbane suburb of Icatha, where it appears to have eventually become an unwanted billboard for graffiti. Fortunately the Australian Railway Historical Society (Qld Division) stepped in, acquiring No.763 around 1996. It was subsequently transferred to their Rosewood Railway and placed in long-term storage.
779		C17	4-8-0	Walkers 406 of 1926	Scrapped	(Cloncurry)	No.779 was plinthed at Cloncurry around 1977 but is reported to have been scrapped by the Australian Army in 1979.
802		C17	4-8-0	Armstrong Whitworth 850 of 1927	Stored	Southern Downs Steam Railway, Warwick	No.802 is one of a batch of 25 C17 class locomotives built by Sir W. G. Armstrong Whitworth & Co. Ltd at their Scotswood Works, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and delivered to Brisbane’s Pinkenba wharf in 1927. Upon retirement No.802 was plinthed in a park at Roma until acquired by the MVHR in March 2000 and restored to operation in 2003 for use on their popular ‘Valley Rattler’ tourist train. The restored No.802 'Roma' follows the MVHR tradition of being named after the town in which it was once plinthed, and now sports a B18 1/4 tender and a suburban D17 whistle. No.802 was withdrawn around 2011/2012. It was later sold to the Southern Downs Steam Railway, moving to Warwick in 2019.
824 (809)		C17	4-8-0	Armstrong Whitworth 857 of 1927	Plinthed	Injune	No.824 is plinthed in a park at Injune, where for many years it wore the plates of sister No.809. In recent times it has been cosmetically restored and the locomotive is now protected by a weather roof.
812		C17	4-8-0	Armstrong Whitworth 860 of 1927	Stored	Southern Downs Steam Railway, Warwick	No.812 was plinthed at Atherton until restored to operation by a local group that sought to establish a tourist railway from Atherton to Herberton. No.812 operated at Atherton for several years from the mid-1990's but my visit in July 2004 found the Atherton section suspended due to track condition. No.812 is now privately owned and has been leased to the Southern Downs Steam Railway, Warwick, where it arrived in September 2016. Here it will be overhauled for operation on tourist train services, providing a second loco to their restored C17 No.971.
819		C17	4-8-0	Armstrong Whitworth 867 of 1927	Dismantled	Mary Valley Heritage Railway, Gympie	No.819 had been plinthed in Mary Kathleen Park and Museum, Cloncurry until acquired by the Mary Valley Heritage Railway, Gympie for intended restoration as a second locomotive for their ‘Mary Valley Rattler’ operation on the branch line to Imbil. No.819 was road-hauled to Gympie, arriving on 11 September 1996. My visit to Gympie on 28 January 2004 found No.819 stripped down for assessment.
820		C17	4-8-0	Armstrong Whitworth 868 of 1927	Scrapped	(Gympie)	No.820 was presented by Queensland Railways in 1969 to Widgee Shire Council for display in MacDonnell Park, Gympie. Unfortunately it was scrapped by Gympie Apex Club in 1982.
922		C17	4-8-0	Walkers 485 of 1946	Boiler, Tender only	Grandchester	The boiler of C17 No.922 provides power for a sawmill in Grandchester, west of Ipswich, where it retains the smokebox, headlight, numberplates and boiler clothing of No.922.
934		C17	4-8-0	Clyde 501 of 1949	Stored	Zig Zag Railway, Lithgow, NSW	No.934 was acquired by the Zig Zag Railway direct from Queensland Railways in 1975 and has been a regular traffic loco on the Zig Zag Railway since restoration was completed in the early 1980’s. In recent years it has worn ‘Hogwarts Express’ red livery in support of occasional Harry Potter theme days held on the Zig Zag Railway. Unfortunately the Zig Zag Railway has not been operational since 2012, and No.934 has been laid-up in the Bottom Points depot pending overhaul and full documentation before it could be returned to service.
935		C17	4-8-0	Clyde 503 of 1949	Workshop	Southern Downs Steam Railway, Warwick	No.935 had been plinthed in the Brisbane suburb of Virginia. It became derelict while plinthed at Virginia and appears to have been under threat of scrapping, but fortunately was rescued by the Australian Railway Historical Society (Qld Division) and placed in storage at their Rosewood Railway, west of Brisbane. No.935 was later sold to the Southern Downs Steam Railway and moved to Warwick in 2018. As at mid-2023 the boiler was under contract repair in Toowoomba.
944		C17	4-8-0	Clyde 509 of 1950	Displayed	Miles Historical Village	No.944 is displayed in the Miles Historical Village at Miles, west of Toowoomba.
965		C17	4-8-0	Walkers 502 of 1950	Plinthed	Mundubbera	No.965 was a park locomotive at Gladstone for many years. It was later acquired by the Mary Valley Heritage Railway and swapped in 2003 for sister C17 No.253 which had been displayed at Mundubbera. No.965 is now plinthed at Mundubbera, albeit in a different park to that which had been home to No.253.
966		C17	4-8-0	Walkers 503 of 1950	Stored	Zig Zag Railway, Lithgow, NSW	No.966 has done some travels in preservation. Upon retirement it was plinthed at Cooee Bay, Yeppoon for Livingstone Shire Council. It was later acquired by the Capricornian Historical Steam Train Association and relocated to Archer Park, Rockhampton. By 1994 the loco had become derelict and was offered for sale, being purchased later that year by the Zig Zag Railway following an appeal for donations from members. It was transported to Lithgow, NSW, where it remains in storage pending future restoration.
967		C17	4-8-0	Walkers 504 of 1950	Operational	Mary Valley Heritage Railway, Gympie	No.967 was originally plinthed at Bulcock Beach, Caloundra, but has since travelled extensively during its preservation life. It was purchased in 1985 by the Ghan Preservation Society, Alice Springs and exhibited as 'gatekeeper' at their MacDonnell station and depot. In 2000, No. 967 was purchased by Beaudesert Rail and restored to operation in early 2003 for use on Beaudesert - Logan tourist trains. No. 967 was purchased by the Mary Valley Heritage Railway in 2007 for use on ‘The Valley Rattler’ tourist train, based at Gympie.
971		C17	4-8-0	Walkers 508 of 1950	Operational	Southern Downs Steam Railway, Warwick	No. 971 had been plinthed at a museum in Chinchilla until approximately 1999, when it was acquired by the Southern Downs Steam Railway and transferred to the old Warwick roundhouse for restoration to working order. No. 971 is now in operational condition after reboilering and 7 years of rebuilding by Southern Downs Steam Railway volunteers.
974		C17	4-8-0	Walkers 511 of 1951	Operational	Mary Valley Heritage Railway, Gympie	No. 974 is a stalwart of the QR heritage steam locomotive fleet, having served on many tour trains over the years since withdrawal from regular service. No. 974 is based at The Workshops railway museum, Ipswich where in recent years it has received a heavy overhaul including a new welded boiler and automatic couplers.
980		C17	4-8-0	Walkers 517 of 1951	Display	Blackwater	No. 980 is displayed in at Blackwater, together with a short train.
988		C17	4-8-0	Walkers 525 of 1952	Display	Archer Park Station & Steam Tram Museum, Rockhampton	No.988 was plinthed in a Cairns park following retirement and has since had some interesting travels. Queensland Rail assessed No.988 for overhaul in the late 1980's with a view to using it on their popular Cairns - Kuranda tourist trains, but unfortunately this restoration did not proceed. In 2001 it was leased to Movieworld, Coomera where it was masqueraded as “5972 Hogwarts Castle” of Harry Potter fame. After a decade as the centrepiece of the Harry Potter display, No.988 was relocated to the Archer Park Station & Steam Tram Museum, Rockhampton where it has been cosmetically restored to its authentic “Brown Bomber” livery.
996		C17	4-8-0	Walkers 533 of 1953	Stored	Mary Valley Heritage Railway, Gympie	No.996 was displayed in a park at The Broadwater, Gold Coast for many years, near to the location of the former Southport railway station. It was later acquired by the Queensland Pioneer Steam Railway and transferred to their Swanbank / Box Flat site on 22 June 2005, where it was securely stored pending possible future restoration. It has since been sold to the Mary Valley Rattler at Gympie.
1000		C17	4-8-0	Walkers 537 of 1953	Workshop / display	The Workshops, Ipswich	No.1000 was plinthed at the Queensland Railways Steam Locomotive Museum, Redbank from 1970 to 1992, providing an example of the most modern C17 locomotives. (Sister loco No. 2 provided a contrasting example of an early C17.) No.1000 had since been under a slow but thorough heavy overhaul at The Workshops museum, Ipswich, with the intention that it would join sister No.974 in the fleet of steam locos available for main line operations. Unfortunately this effort had apparently stalled as at June 2012 due to the need for a new boiler. In the interim, No.1000 is displayed in its dismantled state on the workshop floor, showing its various components and providing an example of how locomotives are repaired.
( - )		?	-	-	Derelict tender tank	-	Over the years I have seen a number of former steam locomotive tender tanks in use on farm properties, particularly in Victoria. Ken McHugh has provided this interesting photo of an ex-QGR example; apparently the owner purchased it from scrap yard in early 1970's as he required a tank for molasses. He went to the scrap yard looking for a more conventional tank and brought this home!
700		C19	4-8-0	Ipswich Railway Workshops 98 of 1923	Stored	The Workshops, Ipswich	C19 No.700 is the only survivor of the C18/C19/CC19 family of locomotives designed for heavy passenger services on the most demanding routes. No.700 was the last of the class in service upon retirement in early 1964, fortunately being spared and plinthed within the former Redbank Railway Museum from 1970 to 1992. No.700 is now located in a storage shed at the rear of ‘The Workshops’ museum based at the Ipswich Railway Workshops, where it awaits removal of boiler lagging and repainting before it can be publicly displayed.
771		B18 1/4	4-6-2	Ipswich Railway Workshops 128 of 1929	Stored	The Workshops, Ipswich	No.771 was plinthed within the former Redbank Railway Museum from 1970 to 1992. No 771 then joined the other former Redbank exhibits in storage at the Redbank Workshops. No. 771 is now located in a storage shed at the rear of the Ipswich Railway Workshops Museum where it awaits removal of boiler lagging and repainting before it can be publicly displayed. Sister loco No.843 was used for rail tour duties in the 1970's but regrettably was later scrapped and No. 771 is now the only remaining B18¼ locomotive.
1037		BB18 1/4	4-6-2	Vulcan Foundry 5963 of 1950	Operational	Darling Downs Historical Rail Society Ltd, Toowoomba	No.1037 had been displayed at the old Mackay railway station until donated to Mackay Heritage Railway Inc. circa 2000 for restoration to operation. It was transferred to their storage shed and workshop in the Mackay Harbour precinct, where overhaul is progressing as manpower and funds permit. In late 2022 it was acquired by the Downs Steam group at Toowoomba, where restoration was rapidly completed and No.1037 returned to steam in December 2023.
1072		BB18 1/4	4-6-2	Walkers 540 of 1956	Stored	Zig Zag Railway, Lithgow, NSW	No.1072 was sold to the Zig Zag Railway Co-op Society around 1975. Here it received the name ‘City of Lithgow’ which is carried via impressive brass nameplates over the driving wheel splashers. No.1072 was restored to operation and entered Zig Zag Railway service around 1981 and generally remained in service since. It is currently awaiting overhaul.
1077		BB18 1/4	4-6-2	Walkers 545 of 1956	Display	Winton	No.1077 is displayed at the Waltzing Matilda Centre in Winton. There has been some confusion about the identity this locomotive; while it wears the builder’s plate of sister No.1028 (Vulcan Foundry B/N 5916 of 1950) and is often reported as No.1015 (Vulcan Foundry B/N 5903 of 1950), detailed inspection of the work stamps on various components shows that it is actually No.1077.
1079		BB18 1/4	4-6-2	Walkers 547 of 1956	Operational	The Workshops, Ipswich	No.1079 was retained by Queensland Railways for historical and tourist train duties, being based and maintained with the small fleet of heritage steam locomotives at Ipswich Workshops. In more recent times the Ipswich Workshops have been transformed into ‘The Workshops’ railway museum and 1079 has been joined at Ipswich by the ex-Redbank Museum exhibits.
1086		BB18 1/4	4-6-2	Walkers 554 of 1957	Stored	Darling Downs Historical Rail Society Ltd, Toowoomba	No.1086 was originally donated to the Emerald Chamber of Commerce and had been plinthed in a park at Emerald. It was acquired by Mackay Heritage Rail circa 2000 for intended restoration to operation (together with sister No.1037) and transferred to Mackay for storage. In late 2022 it was acquired by the Downs Steam group at Toowoomba.
1089		BB18 1/4	4-6-2	Walkers 557 of 1958	Operational	The Workshops, Ipswich	No.1089 is notable as the final steam locomotive to be constructed in Australia and also the last to enter service with the Queensland Railways. It was plinthed within the former Redbank Railway Museum from 1970 to 1992. No.1089 has since been restored to operation at the Ipswich workshops, with its first mainline test run on 12 December 2001.
268		D17	4-6-4T	Ipswich Railway Workshops 112 of 1925	Stored	RAILCO Ravenshoe	No.268 spent its QR years hauling Brisbane suburban trains before being retired. She was later restored to operation by RAILCO Ravenshoe and employed on their tourist railway from Ravenshoe, north to Tumoulin. As a tank loco No.268 would have been too heavy for the Ravenshoe line and thus it was restored to operation minus side tanks to reduce the axle load. (The side tanks are stored at Ravenshoe for possible future use.) Alas the RAILCO Ravenshoe operation is currently suspended, pending track and bridge upgrades, with No.268 and rollingstock stored at their Ravenshoe station depot in the interim.
855		D17	4-6-4T	Ipswich Railway Workshops 155 of 1938	Stored	Rosewood Railway, ARHS Qld	No.855 had been plinthed at rural Murgon, far from its working life hauling suburban trains in Brisbane, but was later donated to the ARHS Queensland Division and transported to their Rosewood Railway, west of Brisbane. It is currently stored; I understand this tank locomotive has an axle-load too heavy for the lightly-laid branch line at the Rosewood Railway, whereas a C17 tender locomotive has a lower axle-load.
1046		DD17	4-6-4T	Ipswich Railway Workshops 205 of 1950	Stored	Zig Zag Railway, Lithgow, NSW	DD17 No.1046 was purchased direct from Queensland Railways by the Zig Zag Railway, together with sisters 1047 and 1049. In 1975 she became the first steam loco to work on the Lithgow Zig Zag since 1910, when the Zig Zag Railway opened as a heritage and tourist operation. No.1046 operated until approximately 1980 when it was stopped owing to frame cracks and general mechanical condition. The locomotive was taken to 'Skills West' at Penrith for overhaul in the mid-1990's where the frame cracks were repaired by welding, but the overhaul was later cancelled and 1046 is now stored dismantled at the Zig Zag Railway.
1047		DD17	4-6-4T	Ipswich Railway Workshops 206 of 1951	Stored	Zig Zag Railway, Lithgow, NSW	DD17 No.1047 operated on the Zig Zag Railway from approximately 1979 to 1998. A high point in No.1047’s preservation career came on 29 October 1988 when it hauled the opening train for the Zig Zag Railway’s extension from the Chifley Road through Clarence Tunnel to Clarence Station. In Zig Zag Railway service, No.1047 always wore the handsome unlined blue livery authentic to that worn in Brisbane suburban service. Alas the loco was withdrawn from service pending overhaul and has since been stored at Bottom Points.
1049		DD17	4-6-4T	Ipswich Railway Workshops 208 of 1951	Stored	Zig Zag Railway, Lithgow, NSW	DD17 No.1049 had been stored at the Zig Zag Railway from 1974 to 1994, when it was given a fast-track overhaul at 'Skills West' in Penrith. At that time it received an attractive but non-authentic maroon livery. 1049 later received a new livery described by the Zig Zag Railway as 'Improved Thomas Blue'! Alas the Zig Zag Railway has not been operational since 2011 due to accreditation issues, compounded by repeated bushfire damage and a significant embankment slip near Clarence. As a result, No.1049 has been stored at the Bottom Points workshop and depot. Any future return to service for No.1049 would require overhaul and full documentation to modern regulatory requirements.
1051		DD17	4-6-4T	Ipswich Railway Workshops 210 of 1952	Stored	The Workshops, Ipswich	DD17 No.1051 was a static exhibit at the former Redbank Railway Museum from 1970 to 1992, and restored to operation in the mid-1990's for tours on the QR suburban network. Unfortunately 1051 has since been stopped for overhaul and reboilering, and is now stored at The Workshops railway museum, Ipswich, awaiting manufacture of a new welded boiler. As at June 2012, components for the new boiler had been recently delivered, with assembly expected to follow shortly thereafter.
218A		AC16	2-8-2	Baldwin 69453 of 1943	Operational	Zig Zag Railway, Lithgow, NSW	AC16 No.218A is a 2-8-2 freight locomotive supplied from the USA to the Queensland Government Railways during World War 2 as one of 20 'AC16 class' locomotives under wartime lend-lease arrangements.
221A		AC16	2-8-2	Baldwin 69456 of 1943	Operational	The Workshops, Ipswich	AC16 No.221 was plinthed at the Redbank Railway Museum from 1970 to 1992. It was transferred to Ipswich Railway Workshops at the closure of the Redbank Railway Museum and has since been restored to operation, including the manufacture at Ipswich workshops of a new welded boiler.
ASG		ASG	4-8-2+2-8-4	Various	Water Tank	Rosewood Railway, ARHS Qld	The Australian Standard Garratt (ASG) was designed by the Commonwealth Land Transport Board in 1942 in response to the urgent wartime need for powerful locomotives for the nation’s 3' 6" gauge railways. None of the ASG locomotives allocated to the Queensland Government Railways have survived, however a welded front water tank has been preserved by the Australian Railway Historical Society (Queensland Division) and can be seen at the Rosewood Railway.
1009		Beyer- Garratt	4-8-2+2-8-4	Beyer Peacock 7349 of 1950	Display	The Workshops, Ipswich	Beyer-Garratt No.1009 had been plinthed within the former QR Redbank Steam Locomotive Museum from 1970 to 1992. No.1009 was overhauled by Queensland Rail in 1995 and operated rail tours for several years, however it now requires boiler repairs. This interesting locomotive can now usually be seen stored / displayed in the running shed area of The Workshops museum at Ipswich.
2’ Gauge
11		B9 1/2	0-6-2	John Fowler 17110 of 1927	Stored	ANGRMS, Woodford	The Innisfail Tramway was an interesting 2’ gauge common-carrier railway with 30 miles of track linking cane fields to the South Johnstone Mill, Mourilyan Mill and Mourilyan Harbour. It was taken over and operated by the Queensland Railways in 1914 until sold to local sugar mills in 1977. A fleet of 13 steam locomotives toiled to bring cut cane to the mills for processing, and then transporting raw sugar to Mourilyan Harbour. Innisfail Tramway No. 11 is one of three Fowler locomotives supplied new to the Queensland Railways for use on this interesting line, and the only surviving Innisfail Tramway steam locomotive.
