Hi Euan,

"Rail Department" sounds as good as any at this stage for the marking. Always thought the broad arrow was for marking military items only but I believe it also meant any commonwealth government owned equipment.

If so, were all the state railways under commonwealth government control during WW2? It probably was so, but they would still not own the state railways.

That would account for the markings perhaps, but if not, it would be unusual for a state owned utility to mark their equipment with a commonwealth owned mark.

Over to the Australian railway enthusiasts amongst the MLU Forum.

Cheers,
