I was just doing one of my occasional-semi-regular check ups on some of the preserved lines around here, and found some photo's I thought some here might be interested in.
The Australian Narrow Gauge Railway Museum Society had a loco donated to them last year by the Dreamworld theme park, who now diesel haul their train(s). The loco, a Perry 2' gauge 0-6-2T was/is in need of quite a bit of work after being run into the ground by the theme park, and ANGRMS' July/August Bulletin has an update of the progress, along with some pictures such as reprofiling the pony truck wheels, and some shots of inside the steam chest of one cylinder, both with and without the slide valve.
It's toward the end of this:
