History and use
This plaque was attached to the cab side of Class A10 No.6 when it was donated to Queensland Railways by Gibson & Howes Ltd, Bingera Plantation in 1965 as part of the Railways centenary celebrations. The plaque gives a brief over view of the history of A10 No.6. It worked special trains between 1965 and 1969 before being placed in the Redbank Locomotive Museum in 1970 as a static exhibit. The plaque was removed for safekeeping when No.6 was removed for restoration to working order by the Australian Railway Historical Society (Queensland Division) in 1989.
