Nice photos of good quality work
Good work boys. Great to see you all every Saturday at Newport
What a 12 months we have all experienced. With all that has gone on our beloved K163 still finds itself with our Friends at Steamrail Victoria whilst our volunteers keep chugging away on the overhaul. Recent lockdowns have slowed the project and the eventual return to the rail of the Mornington Peninsula. Thanks to Matt Oaten VR for the photos of the move.
The go-Fund Me page is still open for your contribution to the overhaul project.

Loved seeing it running on the only event in Victoria and think for all rail interstate crossings with the open day at Newport loved your members driving it at Newport and the triple header too it was apart of
Great photos
I have fond memories of climbing all over this as a kid at Jubilee Park in Frankston 🤗😁
