The "Ken Biggs" Steam Locomotive
This is the closest I could get to the site's pride and joy, a thoroughly restored and fully-functional C17-class steam locomotive, No. 720. It was built in 1922 by Walkers Engineering (Maryborough, QLD) and served Queensland Rail around Toowoomba and the Darling Downs until decomissioned in 1968. It then sat in a park in Goondiwindi until 1994 when the ARHSQ secured it and began restoration.
