NSW in Victoria
I was sitting here this afternoon wondering what photo I should put up next and decided that I should publish something from my years in Tasmania so I went through my photos and came up with this one.
It was taken during my time in Tasmania – but we were actually in Melbourne for a few days on business. This was probably taken during the winter of either 1999 or 2000 and the name Diamond Valley keeps popping into my head although I’m not sure if that really was the name of the live steam club where this photo was taken.
All I can remember was that both Toni and I were taken with the look and ‘feel’ of this beautiful model. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to stop and have a ride behind it because we had a plane to catch back to Hobart.

[...] Last week I posted a photo of a large scale model of 8172 that I took at an extensive live steam complex on the outskirts of Melbourne and you can find that one here. [...]

Hello,
I’m from Brazil, and I’m trying to model a brazilian locomotive, the EMD GT22CUM, but they had a truck (bogie) that is soo diferent from many of the commercial trucks that I can buy in brazil. Im looking to buy a bogie from a australian manufacturer, powerline, from class 81, but I dont have the dimensions of the bogie. Please, can you tell me the distance from one axle to another (between axles?) of these locomotive? The loco that I’m modeling is 6′ (1.816mm), and they wheelbase of each truck is 12′ (3.632mm). Thanks, my e-mail are ‘alex460460@hotmail.com’. If you want you can see the page of my model railroad association. In HO scale. ‘www.apfmf.org.br’ Sorry, but is it in portuguese. Click in “blog” and “leia mais” (read more about) to see the articles, or in “fotos” to see photos of our association.
Sorry, but my english isn’t perfect, if you dont understood anything tell, I will try to explain better.
Thanks.
