A visit to the ARHS

Hi all,
It's been a while since I posted - have been distracted by other things, lately.  But a few weeks ago, I visited the Railway Resource Centre in Redfern and was pleasantly surprised by what I found!  Here are several samples from their colour slide collection. 

This lovely photo of a tour train leaving Kingsvale is rich in details.  The fresh sleepers in the left foreground, the stone coloured ganger's shed and the soil and foliage colours are all very helpful.  Mid 60s.

This is from a series of photographs taken at Demondrille station during an ARHS tour.  There's also some great details here - the footbridge and station sign in particular.



A 50-class shunting atop the coal bunker.  The gangers sitting on the trestle don't appear concerned. 

cheers
James
