CQQY Data Photos

As requested by fellow modeller Simon, here are some CQQY deck photos that will assist with model building. These photos were taken in Goulburn in mid 2009 (and I think it snowed soon after!).

Some CQQY data:
  1. They are former AOOX wagons cut down and skeletalised
  2. They are made from different AOOX batches so have varying brae arrangements
  3. The fleet is 2801-2830. 2822-2827 inclusive are painted Patrick red

Standard portrait photo.

Keep in mind Auscision are doing the AOOX, so it might be a good starting point.
Cheers

    You sir, are a legend! It's a more complex wagon than I thought, but should be a good challenge. :)

    I've got a shot of an upside down CQQY here, undergoing repair at the Creek Siding in Melbourne:
