Thank you for the replies.   The locomotives I grew up near did not have quite the "classic" profiles presented by the English ones.  Here are a few of them  http://rides.webshots.com/album/49652372bTJfORIf one of them looks American, that is because it is actually Baldwin built.   The "Australian Standard Garratt" introduced in the 1940s was not a great success I read, but the later Beyer-Garratt was supposed to be.   A 1952 promotional film from Beyer-Peacock for their Garratts.  Runs 16 minutes or so. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D46SV-Igcw">YouTube - Beyer Garratt Locomotives Round The World - Queensland.</a>That is right in my old stamping ground, though I was all of 3 years old when the film was made.   That was then, this is now.  Things on the central railway are rather different now.  Electrified Emerald to Rockhampton,  the coal trains use three to five locos, Diesel or electric depending on the mine. This video is not on the central line but the full train came from there, heading for Gladstone.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK82DwZnvfI Ken
