Australia's First Train


This model is a representation of what Australia's first train was thought to have looked like although serious doubt is now attached to this conjecture. The locomotive was built by Russ Siddal and the cars by Jim Blayney. Russ also made the models of the band of the 40th Regiment of Foot. They are riding in an IB wagon which was also built by Jim. Researching the instruments and the music proved interesting and "Lillibulero" was finally chosen as a suitable period tune to accompany this train.
