The loco Shed ( Rollingstock Dept. )
The Locomotive fleet consists of models of steam, diesel,and electric outline locomotives
owned by the society and by private individuals. All steam locomotives are authentic
steam powered units. The non-steam locomotives can be powered in many ways.

We use a scale 2 1/4 inch auto couplers which
are fitted to most locomotives and rollingstock.
The rolling stock is generally contructed to a
scale of 1/6th full size. Most passenger carrying
carriages are fitted with air brakes and air
reservoir tanks. Some rollingstock is based on
Public Transport Corporation ( Victorian ) prototypes.

The Rollingstock branch is based in the W.G. Pert Workshops situated at the Diamond
Valley Station. Before the Nullimbik complex was completed,the workshop was the
workshop, the loco storage, and clubrooms. Alterations to the W.G. Pert Workshops is
being planned.
