WAMRC - Image Galleries
RailFest October 2005
The WAMRC showed off its greatly enhanced outdoor G-Scale layout at the annual RailFest this year. These pictures were taken at the 2005 RailFest held on 23rd October 2005. This collection of images is courtesy of Brian Seaton.
Stan Major, Sam Wilde and Len Hughes preside over a consist of Chassis-Railer
Trailers with some 12″ to the foot scale examples on the other side
of the fence.
The specially laid paving slabs just outside the fence allowed the public
to get up close and personal to some radio controlled live steam locomotives.
The characterstic nose of Pacific National’s DL class loco DL38 can
be seen in this shot.
A good view of the new G-Scale station, turntable and yard. Everything in
this shot (except the loco and passenger car) was constructed from scratch
in less than 2 months prior to the RailFest.
Willyabrup Station with some bonsai pot plants forming a stunning backdrop.
Willyabrup is a region in WA’s South-West wine growing region (near
Margaret River). Although the Flinders Bay light railway passed through
the area in the first half of the 20th century, it would never have had
a station as grand as this!
The “non-public” side of the station and marshalling yard. Note
the calibrated pot plant stands.
A live steam hauled mixed freight passes around the outside loop, while the
passenger car waits in the bay platform at Willyabrup.
Another shot of Willyabrup station and yard.
Willyabrup’s open-framed engine shed and silos. Brian Wilde can be
seen in the background.
