Australiansteam.com is updated as the webmaster’s time, travels & research opportunities permit.

As the cliché goes, Australia really IS a big country, so I can’t rely

on my own travels to gather all the inputs needed for this site.

Reader contributions of news and photographs are welcome.

Photos wanted:

I would appreciate status & photo contributions for the following:

·        WAGR loco A 15 (Beyer-Peacock 2-6-0)
Privately owned at Meredith, Victoria and apparently restored to operation.

·        3801
Photos when running in black livery with red whiskers, around 1999.

·        Tully Mill No.4 (Fowler 16340 of 1925)
At the Goulburn Steam Museum in the 1980’s and apparently now under restoration at a sawmill site / workshop in Daylesford, Victoria.

·        Shay No.2 (Lima 2576 of 1912)
stored dismantled in the Melbourne suburbs.

·        Marian Mill Fowler (Fowler 20277 of 1934),

·        Proserpine Mill No.8 (Perry 8403.39.1 of 1939) and
Proserpine Mill No.9 "Tilly” (Thomas Green & Co b/n 219 of 1895).
These two locomotives were in private preservation at Strathewen, Victoria, in 1975.
I understand they have since been relocated to Romsey, Victoria.

·        Macknade Mill No.1 (Hudswell Clarke b/n 1653 of 1934).
This locomotive was privately owned at Jungara, near Cairns but has since been exported to the UK to join the private Richmond Light Railway collection at Headcorn, Kent.

Colour photos of the derelict NSWGR steam locos awaiting the final clear-out of this site.

·        J & A Brown, Hexham circa 1973
Colour photos of the ex-ROD 2-8-0’s and other Brown locos awaiting scrapping / prior to preservation.

Nb. Where a locomotive is privately owned and kept on private property, I do not publish the owner's name & address, or the specific location of the locomotive, to maintain the owner's privacy.
