Mary Ann 0-4-0VB Replica built 1999 Operational Maryborough 'Mary Ann' is a replica of the first locomotive built in Queensland, and was constructed by Maryborough foundry and engineering company William Olds and Sons Pty Ltd (Olds Engineering) in 1999.  Olds Engineering has also provided this interesting web page providing some history of the original locomotive and their replica. The original Mary Ann was built by John Walker's Union Foundry, Maryborough in 1873 for a use on a timber railway, and Walkers are still building railway equipment in Maryborough such as the QGR Tilt Train. This photo courtesy of Graham Watkins / SunSteam creates an interesting contrast.  The caption provided by Graham reads: "The new Cairns Tilt Train power car DTD 5401 poses next to the Mary Ann steam locomotive at Maryborough. Mary Ann is a replica of the first locomotive built by Walkers Ltd and the DTD is the latest on its way to begin on track testing. 19 January 2002".

1 Shay A-type Lima 906 of 1904 Workshop Illawarra Light Railway Museum Society, Albion Park, NSW Ex-A D Munro timber tramway, Hampton, Qld. This locomotive and its sister (below) had been abandoned and scavenged for scrap prior to the remains being donated to the ILRMS in 1974.  Originally 2' 6" gauge, the ILRMS has been working to restore one locomotive to operation using the remaining components and the spare 2' gauge bogies from Mapleton Tramway Shay B/N 2091 / 2800. The original Shay boilers were extensively damaged by scrap scavengers who used explosives to break off the cylinder castings, and the ILRMS rebuild is instead using a spare Davenport boiler.  (1) This photo shows the locomotive being rebuilt at the ILRMS on 13 October 2002.  Jason Gundlach has kindly provided this later view of the restored 2' gauge bogies & frame in January 2005.
2 Shay A-type Lima 2097 of 1907 Components (boiler, bunker, bogies Sketches Mountain Resort, Ravensbourne Further to the commentary above, a Shay boiler, tender tank, 2' 6" bogies and other components deemed surplus to the ILRMS Shay locomotive rebuild have been sold to Sketches Mountain Resort, Ravensbourne, Queensland. Apparently the Sketches resort is situated near the old A & D Munro tramway, and the resort is planning a static display of a Shay locomotive in a replica engine shed.  The components departed the ILRMS at Albion Park on 14 February 2006. (74)  Further information or photographs of this project are welcome.
