I found this review here a couple months ago: http://www.modelrailforu...page=Eureka-AD60-Garratt Very pricey, won't accept anything less than R2 curves, conversion to AC looks to be a pain. Looks very beautiful though.... I think will look great next to all our German steamers.

Conversion to AC: My suggestion add a van behind the loco with a pickupshoe and electrical coupling

Joined: 18/03/2007(UTC) Posts: 6,764 Location: Brisbane, Australia		Thanks John for the links. I well remember the red Beyer Garratts around Rockhampton, hauling the coal trains in 4 wheel hoppers out of Moura in 1963. This was before they built the direct line to Gladstone. So it was long way round through Rannes and Mt Morgan. My photos of those machines near Moura seem to have diappeared. I had one under the coal loader at the Moura mine. 25 years later, the loader had not changed. Many of those red Beyer Garratts were built in France for Queensland Railways. regards Kimball

They sub-contracted construction of 20 of them to Societe des Chemins de Fer Franco Belge, to their plant in Raismes, France. They arrived in 1951. regards Kimball
