Real life 30inch Gauge Climax back in service!

[Hamish K]

The Climax at the 30 inch gauge Puffing Billy railway is to re-enter service, see http://www.puffingbilly.com.au/news-events/climax-locomotive-recommissioning/

This loco is probably the only 30 inch gauge Climax made, It is about the same size as the Bachmann model, but more modern. If Bachmann ever revises the Climax, perhaps.......

I read about that in Live Steam. Puffing billy is 2 foot 6 inches not 3 foot like the Rio Grande. To see that loco run will be amazing first hand but for me to get there. chances not likely.
