Fabulous pictures. I agree that you have a knack with subject and composition. I like the light fitting. Shows the era of the fitting but also shows the age represented by its obvious lack of use and the spider web.
Informative and pleasurable.
Thanks Bob.

Absolutely loving this Bob but sometimes I really wish I had the money to get them running again.

What I found upsetting about the locomotives down in Manjimup and Pemberton was their condition. Funding for preservation would be at best scarce, in the case of both 109s, probably non existant. At least in Manjimup they have roofed structures over the displays. The V1213 is already deteriorating. In stark contrast are the locomotives I saw in Europe - https://www.woodworkforums.com/f65/st...ml#post1443644
There is a railway museum not far from where I live. I will venture there with camera in hand and see whether our rail heritage is fairing any better than what I witnessed a week ago.

Hi BT,
Thanks for the link, i had not seen that one before. Its so good to see them looked after for the generations to come.
Just imagine the machines they would have used to make them too. No Chinsy imports back then
