Queensland Brown Bomber (Roller bearing) C17 4-8-0
BR Deltic (preferably doing the ton!!)

Also like VLine C Diesels, and I reckon those ATN L's are going to be pretty

them)

Brisbane Tin Set and Sydney Red Rattler (preferably running late with the
doors wide open, and winning on the 6 tracks!!)

Newcastle Express (Flyer) 46 + 38 combo, Wallangarra Mail
