Yesterday I heard a funny sound along the railway tracks which border Whistlestop, so I went out to the gate to see what was happening. Lo and behold there were eight or nine Section Cars/ ganger's trolleys/ Fairmonts, whatever their correct title is, travelling to Wallangarra and back. Obviously part of a club that specialises in this activity, legally and safely. Looked like fun! Here's a picture of them at Wallangarra taken by the good folks who run the Wallangarra Railway Cafe, which, by the way, is thoroughly recommended!
To continue the railway-themed weekend today we had the steam train (C17 971) from the Southern Downs Steam Railway, which we viewed at Wallangarra and then followed in the car to the level crossing near Whistlestop. What a superb day those passengers would have had!! The Southern Downs at it's best!!
As yet another month draws to a close I can certainly say that I'm happy with the progress here. The Trainbarn site is nearly ready for construction and the plans for the Trainbarn are being drawn up. As soon as the plans are ready we'll get a formal quote from our builder, and then get the plans into Council for approval. Exciting times!!
