QR "Lander" Trains

Description
Here is the mammoth project of doing QR's iconic "Lander" train carriages. The M Series
air conditioned carriages were introduced in the mid 1950s and saw use until the end of
2014 when the Sunlander was discontinued. In the 1980s, L Series stainless steel cars
were integrated with the fleet, with the introduction of the premium "Queenslander"
train service. At this time, Motorail wagons were added to the Queenslander, too.

The L Series are still in operation today on the remaining "Lander" services,
the "Spirit Of The Outback", the "Inlander" and the "Westlander", although some cars
have undergone extensive modifications to convert them into Power & Baggage cars,
enclosed Motorail vans and lounge/staff cars. These upgrades are not included in this
set, as I have only considered upto the early 2000s, around the time they decided to
butcher everything haha.

Included in set:
3900 Class, 1460 Class, 1502 Class, 2100 Class, 2400 Class & 1720 Class locomotives

M Series:
MAL, MAL/F, MAS, MBC, MBL, MBS, MBS/C, MCC, MCD, MCDL, MCL, MCS, MDC/G,
MLC, MMV, MPC, MSC

L Series:
LAL, LAR, LBL, LDC

Ancilliary Vehicles:
DDM, DM, QLX

It was surprisingly hard to find information on a lot of these so there is some
guesstimation involved, particularly in regard to consists.

Consists:
Sunlander - Circa 60s/70s
Inlander/Midlander/Westlander - Circa 60s/70s
Queenslander
Sunlander - Circa 80s/90s
Inlander - Circa 80s/90s
Midlander - Circa 80s/90s
Westlander - Circa 80s/90s
Capricornian
Spirit Of The Outback
Spirit Of The Tropics
Sunlander - Circa 2000s

If I can find the information down the line, I'd like to create the 1200 & 1250 class, the
1300 class, 1400 class and 1620 class. It'd be good to include some steamers too for
the early years such as C17 or BB18 1/4.

I hope you enjoy playing with it as much as I hated making it lol!

I mean, it's somewhat self serving as well, since I need them for my game too haha
