I just stumbled across this.

http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection/database/?irn=213447

I knew Beeson made models in scales other than 7mm, but hadn't seen mention of this one before.  Just sorry I didn't go to see it when I visited Sydney a few years back.

Anyone have more information and decent pictures we could submit to the G3S Editor?

Well, from the silence I guess this model is not well known afterall.  I checked my copy of Dick Ganderton's book on Beeson and the model isn't mentioned.  In fact there is no mention of Gauge 3 in the book at all, yet from the period he was working I'm sure he must have built several.

Does anyone have suggestions on where to start research?
