> Unusual blue-painted tank engine in > Australia. Queensland Railways D17 class extracted from a park and now running in Far North Queensland at Ravenshoe near Cairns. These were normal side tank engines, but the design is too heavy for the poor track there so the tanks were removed and are carried in the waggon behind. The blue paint and brass sandboxes are someones idea of "attractive" - the engines were only ever black. |
