Puffing Billy Museum Reopens To Volunteers
The Puffing Billy Museum at Menzies Creek reopened to volunteers late last year. Since then David Baker and the team of workers from the Navy have done wonders. The George and George stationary boiler is almost ready to make steam. The Malcom Moore is undergoing complete overhaul. Number 4 is now back in steam. Many non working exhibits have been brought back to life. Some new young blood (Brenton, Stefan, and Alistair) have reinvigorated the Museum staff. Well done guys.

Picture of the month...

The latest engine out of the Puffing Billy workshops is 7A outshopped in canadian red with brown trim. This is apparently the correct heritage colours for the railways era of significance. I didn't like it much when it first came out but it does grow on you.
