Fantastic result for all the efforts from those involved. Great work.
In 1973 I was a painters assistant for the West Australian Government Railways in Forrestfield. All of the lettering stencils on the WAGR containers was done by painters assistants. I remember days at that task.
It's beautiful. The stencilling and sign writing is just right. 😊
Well Done .... I still have fond memories of my time as a volunteer at the then CHTR 😊 Superb Work
Outstanding work, looks as good as new 👍🏻🇦🇺
Great work everyone, certainly looks very nice.
what is the point of the W cars?
what is the age of your works vans? back in the 1880's, after the introduction of the longer bogie passenger cars, the vr recycled its old 2 and 3 axle passenger cars to all and sundry other purposes especially works sleeper and smoko vans. in fact there was one at the rail yard near where i grew up. is that the origin of these wagons? nice paint job.
As far as I can tell there was 3 distinct designs of sleepers, one purpose built and two adapted from old passenger stock frames and 381w would be one of the purpose built ones.
@@TheDemocrab , i saw a welded chassis when it was getting numbers painted on it. what about the others in the video? a while ago i found a site where there were lots of the old cars turned into chook houses, sheds and holiday homes. i think it was called the vincent collection. and a few years ago one turned up in ballarat and another in castlemaine. one of them went to lake goldsmith where theyve got the old machinery.
