Munro Tramway |
The derelict remains of A & D
Munro's Shays No.1 & No.2 had been decaying at the site of their Palmtree
timber mill until donated to the Illawarra Light Railway Museum Society
(ILRMS) in 1974. These remains were reassembled to form a static display of
locomotive No.2 which could be seen at the ILRMS in the 1978-79 period. No.2
was then dismantled as the first step of an intended restoration to
operation; when complete it was to be known as No.1 (Lima 906) with some
minor parts from No.2 (Lima 2097). In 2006, components deemed surplus to the
ILRMS rebuild were sold to Sketches Mountain Resort at Ravensbourne,
Queensland where it was intended to create a static display of a Shay
locomotive. This project has now been taken over by the Munro Tramway
Historical Group Inc. and the statically restored A & D Munro Shay No.1 was officially unveiled on 30
March 2019. |

The derelict remains of Munro's
Hampton Tramway Shay No.1 & No.2 had been decaying at the site of their
Palmtree timber mill until donated to the ILRMS in 1974. These were
reassembled to form a static display of locomotive No.2 which could be seen
at the ILRMS in the 1978-79 period. No.2 was then dismantled as the first
step on a lengthy restoration to operation; when complete it was intended to
be known as No.1 (Lima 906) with some minor parts from No.2 (Lima 2097). New
main beams were fitted to create a viable frame, and two spare 2' gauge Shay
trucks from the Mapleton Tramway Shays were overhauled. Alas the project to
restore A & D Munro Shay No.2
appears to have stalled pending the required significant funding for the many
new and reconditioned parts needed to complete the project. |

Palmwoods Heritage Tramway, Buderim |
‘Krauss’ was purchased for the Palmwoods-Buderim Tramway,

loco to operate in Australia. It was saved from a scrap yard in 1967 and
stored at various sites around Brisbane for many years. In October 2004
‘Krauss’ was acquired by the Buderim-Palmwoods Heritage Tramway Inc. and has
since been beautifully restored as a static exhibit. A permanent display
location at Buderim is proposed. |
