      @@jamesburnside3023 Thank you for that James. Hopefully we will see M6 back in steam again in the future as it was a very popular locomotive on the Bellarine Railway.

      They certainly are a lovely locomotive. Hopefully we will see M6 running again at some stage in the future.

    Yep they're getting a collection of rusty relics in that Laker Siding Shed! Maybe a couple to run 6km shuttles one day between Lebrina and Denison Gorge on the Lone Star Railway Railtrail .

      ​@@railmediaproductions3677It was spectacular in old worn out Queensland 1300 class (ZC) between Tullendeena and Ledgerwood, losing traction continuously on damp eucalyptus and fern fronds.. Probably one of the best and interesting sections in Australia yet hardly any train enthusiasts explored it. Tasmania really knows how to through away it's unique industrial history.
