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 input needed for this site. Reader
contributions of news and photographs are always welcome.
Please email contributions to: ed at australiansteam dot com Photo format: When emailing photo
contributions, would you please: ·
Either send large, high resolution photo files; or if
re-sizing a photo for publishing on the website, please size to 750 pixels
wide with a file size of approximately 400Kb. ·
Please email me identifying details of the locomotive,
location and date. ·
Include your name, so that I can credit the
photographer appropriately. ·
Please do not submit
other photographers’ work, unless you have their explicit approval. Photos wanted: I would particularly
appreciate contributions of the following: ·
3801 – Photos of this locomotive when running in black
livery with red whiskers around 1999. ·
5908 & 5916 – Photos of these two
when in use as stationary boilers at Broadmeadow and Eveleigh. ·
No.4 (Fowler 16339 of 1925), formerly operable at the Goulburn Steam
Museum in the 1980’s and currently under restoration at a sawmill site /
workshop in Daylesford, Victoria. ·
Shay No.2 (Lima 2576 of 1912) stored dismantled in
the Melbourne suburbs. ·
The remains of Krauss 6927 which was retrieved
from Corrimal Colliery for preservation by a Sydney enthusiast / collector in
1971 and stored at the Marsden Museum of Historic Engines, Goulburn NSW from
12/71 to 3/74. Also wanted are photos
of (incomplete) locomotives Krauss
2589, Krauss
6611 & Maffei 3677 which are
held by the same collector. I believe these four locos were at
Gymea, Sydney during the 1980’s & 1990’s, more recently moving to the North-East
of Victoria. ·
Ivy (Fowler 15947 of 1922), ex-Mossman Mill, at a private site
in the Hunter Valley. ·
Fowler 20277 of 1934, ex-Marian Mill,
privately owned at Mirani, west of Mackay. ·
Proserpine Mill No.8 (Perry 8403.39.1 of
1939) which is privately owned at Romsey, Victoria, together with 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 that
they have since been relocated to Romsey, Victoria. ·
Mulgrave Mill No.9 (Decauville 454 of
1906) which is privately owned at Tynong North, Victoria. ·
Macknade Mill No.1 (Hudswell Clarke
b/n 1653 of 1934). I understand
this locomotive is privately owned at Jungara, near
Cairns. Nb.
Where a locomotive is privately owned and kept on private property, I do not
published the owner's name & address, or the specific location of the
locomotive, in order to maintain the owner's privacy. |
