Re: BB18 1/4

["Edward Slee" <ews3@ozemail.com.au>]

1089 was in the railway museum at Redbank for many years.
It was only recently moved into the workshops for restoration to working
order.
1079 was a tour engine ever since withdrawal from regular service.
BTW -
1037 is being restored to working order in Mackay
1086 was recently retrieved by the same group in Mackay, after static
preservation in Emerald for many years.
1077 is still at Winton. (sometimes reported as 1015)
1072 is working on the Zig Zag Railway in NSW.

Ed
