AMRA (nsw) Branch Liverpool Model Railway Exhibition 2015


Back to DPGAL Home





This year drove up to NSW for 2015 Liverpool show. On the Friday headed for Bargo, not 60km from the show. Saturday was all day at the show. Sunday was to be different.

Got up and drove to Trainworks, only 20 minutes from the hotel. After Trainworks I hit the Hume and motored onto Goulburn. I were there for their shuttle trips, organised by the ARHA ACT division. After parking and walking over the wrong overbridge, I then found the right one to get to platform 2 and thus waited a bit. While waiting for the train I did gunzel the 48 class and train in platform 3

In die course the train arrived back from the last Shuttle, the 44 class in the lead as it pulled the steamer back. The crew got busy and I got to shake tha hands of one of them, a hard working Les Coulton, who has a bakck sooty hand. While they serviced the engine it was fun to see the crew invite a youngster into the cab , a "BLOW THE WHISTLE !"

The trip went well, I had a compartment all to myself and we moved a a great rate. The end was near a quarry as it had a reverse crossover so the 44 could power up and return the train back to Goulburn. Once again there was plenty of whistling going on as I crossed the bridge.

I ended up at Wagga for the night, train stuff done.....

Here's the photos of the morning.
