Some pictures of the trains we rode on

Queensland runs on 3'6" gauge track so there's a tendency for the full-width carriages to rock around a bit, but overall they're not too bad. A lot of the rolling stock dates from the 1960's as you can see from the interior pictures, but that just adds to its charm. Some of the station buildings are quite beautiful, as facade at Emerald shows.
