Re: Prosperpine Mill loco #1

["John Browning" <ceo8@rocknet.net.au>]

DH here means diesel hydraulic (Clyde Model DHI-71), not QGR DH class which
were built by Walkers. 
You need do no more than catch the train to Nambour to see a Clyde DH
working at Moreton Mill.

You can go a little further north to Childers to see an ex QGR DH working
on 2ft gauge at Isis Mill.
