My Favorite train. So pleased you enjoyed the last post so I have added another post with pics for you. You might also want to have a look at another post on Railways Stoney Creek Tressle Bridge down in Victoria, it's a narrow rain system. Click on Stoney Creek Tressle Bridge and Short trips and holidays under labels on the right, thanks.














This train was to carry wages, it was fully restored by appentices from Skilled Engineering and on display at Central station in Sydney for a while, Now it's at Thirlmere Train Works



Again part of the coal carriages



That old wrought iron work is so beautiful and check out the break.









First Class Travel. Those seats look so comfy, lots of leg space. Check out the pressed tinwork above the wood panneling, it's in the dinning cart as well.

Train Works, a Boys Paradise ...

In the Theater, the whole story of this little engine is shown from before the WWl, WW2 and to where it ws used to shunt coal in the Hunter Valley.



Great lighting in the theater.









Transposting coal.



I'd say sheep were tranported in these old carriages being a double decker.








Boy's behind bars in the carriage carting the convicts
Not a bad place for them keeps them quite on the return trip home, wishfull thinking :))

A good day for Riding ...

Finally got our first lesson in for this holiday, Tuesday's lesson was cancelled due to Gail force winds.



Yesterday turned out to be a lovely day, just a slight breeze, perfect day.



A good picture if you did not cut the kids head off, oopps



Next week we'll try fit in another lesson.



Enjoy the rest of the holidays for the Queensland kids, NSW kids only start their Sept break on Friday

The big baby boys flew in from Brisbane on Thursday the 15th, and that's when all the fun starte. For the next two weeks, I don't think there will be a lot of time to blog but I will try share a few pics with you as we go along. Friday was not very eventfull except George had another eye lazer treatment, so far that makes no 5, two weeks ago he got an injection into the same eye for swelling then only could they carry on with the lazer treatment.



Saturday we went of to the local Catholic School Fair, no we're not Catholic but it's local and it's heaps of fun for the kids. Great school, well layed out and it's got a great reputation.





Today we stayed home, Grandpa was not feeling to crash hot, I'll just take the boys to the train musuem during the week by myself. We having great weather ATM, lot's of backburning, getting ready for the fire season, that does mean a fair bit of smoky haze over Sydney
