Re: Photos of Brisbane FM 550

Hi Roy,

It seems 550 was indeed camera shy, even from me, I have attached a shot of
her not long after arriving at Yallambie Hts Special school and I have a
friend who is checking his collection for me too.

As for genuine Brisbane trucks, there is a couple of things you could
consider, Brisbane has several (unknown how many) sets of Phoenix trucks
that they saved and are in their "bogie farm". I have attached a shot of one
of them. Sper has one spare that they will never use though it has no motors
(simple, use Melbourne motors, exactly the same, GE 247 with double helical
gears), perhaps you could persuade Brisbane to part with one and Sper the
other to make a pair, evan if the one from Brisbane comes without motors
too. Food for thought!

Thanks Greg,

We hope to get trucks and electricals from Melbourne, as you say #15's are

almost identical to her original trucks. Unfortunately, we will not be able
to run her with totally authentic equipment, as it is unlikely that two sets
of resilient wheels will ever show up!
