    Have always been interested in speeders.
    Found a DRGW standard gauge one for sale in the US about 2 years ago,but the guy didnt want to send o/s!What a party pooper.....
    Have since turned this interest towards Australian versions,helped a club member rebuild one last year & am currently on the lookout for my own now,prefer one to rebuild,lotsa fun!
    Interesting site on Australian speeders here,

    *The boxes,arent they for flares or flags?
