A few interesting ones from Bendigo yesterday.


VPCX 17 with a very nice cement spill - great for those HO models!

Ex Dunnolly victim, VHHF 832 has just been finished with a coal of paint.

Loading Coal

A few shots from a coal loading site, taken with permission. Sorry - can't disclose the location.


The loading chute, dumping in coal as the train progresses at 0.8km/h.

Sleeper Walking

Here are NQHX 22174 and 22123 which tried to escape from Braemar and head to Colo Vale (on the Loop Line to Thirlmere). Shame the bridge doesn't exist any more!

Enjoy!
