        This is an ore train en route to the Port Pirie smelter. The engine is a narrow gauge (3’6″) Garratt. Sadly, these engines were put out to grass after only 17 years.

            Spectacular! I thought this was a photo. Love the little jet of steam near the front wheels.

                                Well done! :thumbsup: Sadly, most of the steam locomotives were destined for the scrap metal yards.

                                        Excellent! Very skilfully painted locomotive and the low level view adds impact.

                                                Thank you Kate, Patrikeev, Dhana, Doug, Thomas, Balaji, Rich, Joan, Mike , Ernst and albydurylehrly for you positive comments. You are right about the effect of low level view, Mike; I usually these days try to get below the level of the rails when planning a locomotive picture.
