Oldmates West - The Cowra Road trip

For a change in scenery and to help out our oldmates at the Lachlan Valley railway, the Eveleigh oldmates headed west to Cowra for a weekend of boiler, carriage repair and social activities. Despite the temperature hovering in the low 40's day and night, much progress was made and we suspect a good time was had by all.

Here we see part of the boiler brigade who worked with the LVR team to remove and fit boiler tubes to The 5 9 1 7 steam locomotive......















...whilst over in the carriage shed father and son Steve & Todd carried out repairs to internal car fittings.
















Another team worked on sealing the carriage roofs ready for another year of operations.











All in all a satisfying weekend away and a great example of oldmates working together.
