    Here are a few photographs I took on an Australian Railway Historical Society tour from Sydney to Canberra on 14 March 1971.

    3229 at Goulburn - not one of my best photos, but there are a few interesting details in the signal and station fittings, such as lights - and, of course, it's not like I can go back and take it again:

    5212 at Goulburn:

    3229 and 5212 somewhere south of Goulburn:

    5274 at Bungendore:

    Oooo some great photos
    Thanks for Sharing
    Really good to see the one with 5274 as it has the what was called the Mortsdock turret tender by Modellers but was actually built in the Walsh Island Dockyard

    And here are the rest of the photos from that day.

    5274 & 5212 (I labelled it on the slide as south of Bungendore, but now I'm not sure if I got that right):

    And a couple of photos of 1210 (the locomotive that hauled the first train to Canberra) back in the days when it was stuffed and mounted on a plinth outside Canberra station:
