More on 'Built by Bundaberg Foundry'
Credit card facilities are available.
Here is a blurb:
THE AUSTRALIAN NARROW GAUGE RAILWAY MUSEUM SOCIETY
is proud to announce the publication
of its new book
BUILT BY BUNDABERG FOUNDRY
Using manufacturer’s
records and the memories of those who built them and worked on them, this book
tells the story of the steam and diesel locomotives produced by this famous
Queensland company. Narrow gauge locomotive manufacture began after the Second
World War. Bundaberg Fowler steam locomotives were used to haul sugar cane, and
Bundaberg Jenbach diesel locomotives were supplied to the sugar and coal mining
industries. 35 years later, the Hunslet Engine Company assisted the Foundry to
produce new powerful canefield diesels. Subsequently, many ex-government
railway locomotives were converted for cane haulage. Many of the steam
locomotives are well known because of their use on Australian tourist and
heritage railways.
