Queensland A10 Neilson class locomotive

One engine was also constructed for Peto, Brassey and Betts, a railway contractor building the line to Toowoomba.

It was reboilered in 1955 and continued to serve the company until 1965 when it was steamed from Bundaberg to Brisbane for the Queensland Railways Centenary Celebrations, operating a reenactment of the first Queensland Railways service from Ipswich to Grandchester.

It was retained in operational condition until 1969 when placed on display at the Redbank Locomotive Museum.

In 1988, the Australian Railway Historical Society commenced a restoration of the locomotive with it being returned to traffic in May 1991 and today is part the Queensland Rail Heritage Fleet at the Workshops Rail Museum.
