Trev sent me this picture, of a K183 steam locomotive.

Here’s his description:

About an hour and a half east of Melbourne in the small town of Yarragon is a steam locomotive in the park, driven past it heaps of times but have just noticed its engine number K183…

K class steam engines were not designed for high speed Passenger trains although they could do it if the need arrived, mostly they were used as general purpose locos….

so no need to hurry with your project as like the K class engine given time the job will be done

Although I am occasionally concerned that I won’t finish Project 183 in time, perhaps I should take a leaf out of the book of the K183, and be the tortoise, rather than the hare!

Thanks Trev, for both the image and the tip.
