May Meeting 2019

Hey hey, last night's meeting was a little different as this is the last meeting before the AMRA WA Annual Exhibition which is held each year on the June long weekend. As Stuart Mackay will be displaying his layout 'Watheroo', it was decided to have a bit of a round up of rollingstock of the MRWA which could potentially be displayed on the exhibition long weekend. This was combined with the usual 'Bring 'n' Show' part of the meeting.

Stuart Mackay's A class number 24 built from an X class Models kit.

Stuart Mackay's A24 and a rake of blue/grey wagons.

Greg Aitken's X class Models A24 amongst a few of his wagons and carriages.

Greg Aitken's WAGR Midlander set.

A mixed train built by Kieran Wright.

Neil Blinco's MRWA train complete with FA van, JV Sleeper and J class dog box carriage.

Bill Gray's JV33 amongst other MRWA wagons.

Bill Gray's modified WestOz Models AZ kit which he converted to a MRWA JV33 much like the one at the RHWA museum.

Upon closer inspection of Bill Gray's JV33, you can identify the Tare weight details on the chassis of the coach.

John Hatch's latest project is this early era RailWest Models G class kit which he plans to include DCC and a Keep Alive.

Alison Kelly's DB Locomotive Hollywood Foundry chassis she displayed for people to get a better look at whilst it currently has a ViTrains mech under it.

The main theme of the meeting was advertising wagons of the WAGR (of which there were a few) followed by slides of the real wagons which always encourages good discussion. I have deliberately left them un-captioned so as not to incorrectly credit the wrong person for their work. Hopefully we will see more and more of these colourful wagons on trains in years to come.
