Well, again it's been a few months, for which I do apologise.

A few quick updates on the happenings lately.

The first is to say a big thanks to everyone at the open day... Was a great day from my perspective, simply as a volunteer helping out around the museum on the day, and during the lead up. We had a few things happening during the day, including the Shay and the Sub Nigel locomotives outside the museum in the goods loop in Menzies Creek yard.

We also had our Hudswell Clarke loco, Number 4, in steam along with our boilerhouse in operation and a portable steam engine, along with various displays around the museum. Some of the displays included a working model railway, using a mix of HO scale and 0n30 locomotives (namely a Climax locomotive), a display of HO scale Victorian Railways locomotives and rolling stock, various lamps used on the railway, and elsewhere, and of course our gang shed, setup with appropriate tools, etc.

The day went very smoothly, and was very enjoyable. We are looking forward to next years Gala Weekend. See the Puffing Billy website for further details.

Now, on to current works. We have been working mainly to clean up the site for the coming building works, and finishing off some small projects to make room for these works. Currently we have been clearing the area in front of the boiler house, to make way for this building. We have also been loaned an Aveling and Porter steam roller to assist with these works. This roller (which I hope to photograph in the near future) is very similar to our own Aveling and Porter steam roller which is currently under restoration.

Thanks for reading.
