My first recallable suburban diesel hauled train trip was behind her, from Central to Pinkenba and return.
 I recall it most vividly

(21-Feb-2012, 05:20 PM)Rolls Royce Wrote: It was once widely rumoured that it was being prepared for full operational status again, for heritage duties in the event of steam fire bans, or lack of steam qualified crews, and as a support loco for steam tours. If I recall correctly, these rumours started to emerge when 1620 was beginning its revival. Ummm......Interesting...Maybe QR150 might have something in the plans.

If QR acquire their rumoured tranche of Clydes from Aurizon they'll have to put some sort of maintenance/heavy repairs contract in place with someone (EDI or Aurizon I imagine)...might be room in that contract for the heritage locos too? Can only hope.

QR Lmtd. will need something to haul their remaining mail and work trains.....gunzels won't have to chase far and wide to see old girls back hauling again. 😦
Home on the range.....
