The second run on its way to Wyreema a few minutes South of DownsSteam's base at the Toowoomba suburb of Drayton. After this I went home to rest. 18/05/24

The sunshine has returned and the crowd of the first run passengers has dispersed but it's still more than an hour to the second departure. I tidy up some things which I didn't get to do before the first run. Then I left the site to a road over bridge to get a photo of the second run. 18/05/2024

106 + train has returned and 106 has run around using the Qld Rail track. Later it will couple on for the second run which left at 2pm. Visitors are looking around the tracks, workshop and gardens. 18/05/2024

Standing in Wyreema after 106 has run around the train and the brakes have been tested so the train is ready for departure. 18/05/2024

Creeping across Karara Rd level crossing. Many extra cars today. 18/05/2024

From the guard's compartment on the way to Wyreema on the first of the day's two runs. The whistle board is for Allports Rd level crossing. 18/05/2024

A view of the platform from the guard's compartment. People are gathered further along the platform listening to speeches. The brass band has paused for the duration. 18/05/2024

106 coupled to the train. The train is having its brake safety test done and will stand there to be viewed by the passengers and others for an hour and a bit. I've just walked up from the other side of the workshop having cleaned myself up from lighting-up and greasing 106 and changing into an on-train staff uniform. 18/05/2024

I was on light-up and after that on guard training on the first of the two runs to Wyreema and return. Here out the rear of the workshop the fire in 106 has been going for over an hour. 18/05/2024.

A two page test report for the transmission links for a two-way radio system. The links joined the track-side base stations and the control centre. The system is no longer in use. This is used for checking the links shown here: www.ipernity.com/doc/grahamh/24117033 E&M signalling over copper pairs in Australia was done using the 4W (1 pair each direction for the audio signal) circuit, ie no additional conductors. This is done in a similar manner to that used in feeding DC power to a condenser/electret microphone in a public address or studio sound system. The direct current for the signalling flows one way equally on both wires of a pair with the earth being used as the return conductor.
