A day trip out to Ipswich to the Queensland Railway Workshops and the museum. Like any big kid, Clive had to play on trains, as this was something probably inherited from his father and the Indian side of the family. A fantasic place for any age if you want to learn about the history of the railway through Queensland.
I also managed to replace the broken pane of glass,(well actually my carpenter neighbour did), and the front entrance got a new cedar blind.

Well we finally found our way here. We can smell the steam.	The entrance on the right in front of '398'.	There is also some old army equipment.	Military equipment.
An old army truck.	The Workshop platform.	Walking to the Powerhouse. The workshops are in the background.	The Powerhouse. First electricity generator in Queensland
A smiling Gai.	You get to ride on this to access the workshops further down.	Gai getting the camera ready.	The Yank.
These engines have been lovingly restored.	A carriage of not so long ago.	An old diesel.	Inside the museum. Signs from the past.

A model railway depicts different areas.	From the other end showing viaducts and tunnels.	Clive reading about the inside of a diesel.	Relaxing in the drivers seat of the cabin of the Tilt Train.
Even a realistic control panel.	I'm not playing. You have to move the lever to start the presentation.	Looking back to where the passengers would sit.	This was a rough old cart to sit on.
A Classic old wooden carriage.	This one was used by dignitries and royalty.	An old people mover	Another restored loco at the enterance.
'Pompey" sits in front of the Workshops.	If Gai's down there then I must be in the cabin again.	Clive at the controls of Pompey.	Proof. Caught coming down the stairs.
World War 1 Memorial to workers who died. Staff canteen in background.	Our new cedar blind for the front hallway.	And the broken glass got replaced too.
