History and use
During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Queensland Railways purchased some track maintenance vehicles from Aresco Trak-Chief. Vehicles included MMB Class ballast regulators, MML Class sleeper spaces and MMM Class spike pullers.

It is likely that this builder's plate is from one of these track vehicles.
