The steam loco is a Queensland Railways BB18 1/4 class. I know, it's a weird class code. The B means 3 driving axles, A would be 2 driving axles and D would be 4 drives. The number is the cylinder diameter in inches. Double B's is only used in this one case to deferential the later model from an early class (B18 1/4 from the 1920's). The photo is taken this morning at Roma Street station. The local museum runs a steam trip once a month. Umm, I think the switcher is a 1720 class or something like that.
Anyway, I'll get in trouble for thread hyjacking if I keep this up.
I've got two of the RTR SW1500's. They have small light bulbs placed dirrectly into the light holes. They are glued in place, but it seems to be some sort of silicon gel, and thus easy to remove. I'd prefer to use LED's as they are nice and bright and will last a lot longer. So the RTR models don't have suitable clear light lens to fill the holes for the headlights. I am thinking those class light lens might do the job.
Thanks for the offer for the spark arrestors but I'm in Australia so the mail will be too expensive. The spark arrestors don't look too hard to fabricate. I might use the opportunity to see what I can do with scaling photos.
