This is the second video of the South Johnstone mill tramway. It starts a little north of Innisfail and follows a train north to Mirriwinni, then down a branch to the southwest.
You are stretching the memory, but I vaguely recall that the line that went west to the Nerada region may have been QR a very long time ago. Something for you to research and let us all know 😊
No, they were built as diesels. However some larger ones started life as NSW standard gauge 73 class diesels, some others as similar QR DH class 3’ 6” gauge.
I guess you mean the connecting rods. Just one axle, I think usually the one under the cab, is connected to the motor. The rods put power into the other 2 axles. They could of course use chains but the rods are more efficient and much less subject to wear.
Cool thanks mate
