And my Aussie themed entry to The Great Breath Some Life into
Loc.au.competition!

Also, A Big Thanks to Dirk/Rollingbricks,for sharing his 8 wide Santa
Fe Super Cheif Pictures !

Brief History !

The S Class steamtrain was built in 1928 and was streamlined in 1936.It made
it's first Streamlined run, Named The Spirit of Progress ,on the 17/11/1937.In
1953,the B Class Diesel-electric locomotives were introduced.Sadly in 1954 the
last of the four S Class Steamlined Steamtrain were cut up for scrap.With the
great success of the of the B Class Diesel-electric locomotives, the S Class
Diesel-electric locomotive were introduced. The B Class is double ended S Class
.

To Richie, could you please put a link to this Brickshelf file, for my
S class Steamtrain.


Many Thanks  , Teunis   M>ltc
