DownsSteam's Qld Rail 2000 class railcar set at Pittsworth while travelling to Bookstead on a test and crew training run. I'm standing on the out of use loop siding. See PiP for another view. September 2023.

It's looking in great condition, Graham.

Thanks George. The external has come up well. The interior was done up a few decades ago to make it a 'Commissioners Train'. Its probably the only train in the country with a board room. There is also a kitchenette and a lounge area. There are still some of the standard reversible seats but they have been recovered with a cloth material rather than vinyl. QR sold it to Aurizon (the rail freight business which hauls the majority of freight in Qld) who used it as a driver training train.

Lovely shot. I've just dug out some pics I took in Brisbane in 1979 and these striking railcars star.

Our one are a bit different in many ways. Their replacement engines are 300HP rather than 150 for example. I have some interior shots to put up later.
