Welcome to the Queensland Diesel Restoration Group

The Queensland Diesel Restoration Group was a privately funded volunteer group dedicated to the history and restoration of ex Queensland Railway diesel locomotives. The group has since been formalised as the Queensland Rollingstock Preservation Group (QRPG).

This site records the project work on English Electric loco 1225, Clyde 1700 Class loco 1707D and Clyde 1720 Class loco 1741D while under QDRG's governance. We also own LTC 1849, a former Locomotive Testing Carriage.

1707D and 1741D now live at the Zig Zag Railway, Lithgow, where 1741D is operational. 1225 remains stored at Box Flat and is looking for a new home.
