Inspiration where I live

[ShedBoy]

I have lived in the same town my whole life. Pinjarra Western Australia. In this town is the hottham Valley Railway Works which has been a place of much enjoyment for me through my life and still is. At the moment they are retubing some boilers and maintaining some XA class diesels. I thought I would post some older pictures from when they moved from their old shed into the new shed. Many a day was spent hanging around watching the old blokes doing their thing here when I was young.

The original shed

Unsure of the class never reaaly got into that part. Maybe a V class, I am sure a purist will be able to id

This has been sitting in the weather for 6 years now. Makes me want to cry. I would take it if they let me :'(

This thing is quite large. Them hand wheels are about 400 diameter.

A couple more. I will take some recent pics when I get home.

The frame and associated parts are strewn around the place for this boiler.

If anyone requires or just wants any detailedl photos of any of these things just let me know and I will take them. I always love going to this place.
