QPSR Handmade Expo & Naming Ceremony

[QGT]

On the 18th of  December 2010 The Queensland Pioneer Steam Railway (QPSR) ran their PB15 No.448 with their four heritage wooden cars from Bundamba Racecourse to Box Flat and return. After the Handmade Expo Trips PB15 No.448 went back to Box Flat QPSR's Depot to get ready for the Naming Ceremony at Swanbank Station at 3:30pm. At Swanbank Station PB15 No.448 was named R.V Armstrong after Ron Armstrong a former member of QPSR. PB15 No.448 will now carry the R.V Armstrong plates on each side of the boiler.
