\nWhile it has been a while since my last post, I haven’t been completely idle. Hopefully I will ‘catch up’ with events in due course, but in the meantime, here are a couple of photos of a recent visitor to Lambing Flat.<\/span><\/div>\n

\nMy good mate, Chris Sim, has been busy over the last couple of years, working on models of the NSWGR’s fastest (allegedly \ud83d\ude09 railmotor, CHP38, known as ‘Creamy Kate’, and a 500 class trailer, which ‘Kate’ often hauled at times of excess patronage.<\/span><\/div>\n
