~~ NEATH RAILFAN WEEKEND NUMBER ? ~~
PART 1
Ahhhhhh yes it was that time again, its spring, a time when a young man's thoughts to love and a foamers thoughts turn to the Hunter Valley.
While not really a weekend, given this was a one day venture north to sit in on the inaugeral meeting of the 'Merriwa Railway Society', much opportunity was taken to consume the Hotels fantastic food and delightful 'alcoholic' beverages, during a sampling of Colonel's finest orchestral instrumentation from the nearby gentlemans convenience.
As it was likely to be the last time I can drag my rapidly decaying frame to East Maitland prior to the most glorious of all hackspots, Pitnacree Bridge (aka Houro's Bridge), being destroyed by a brand new bridge catering for the ever growing needs of humanity. I thought this would have to be the go for the first few shots of the day.
Now I am not going to sit here and type up a whole pile of sightings for you to quickly persue through and soon forget about. Nah stuff it - I can't be bothered.
So instead - please devour the following selections of gunzel porn taken on the dribbly cam which will appear over two parts.
NOTE: I hold no responsibility for expansion of personal
body parts while viewing the following!
Just in case anyone cares - our first sighting was this flamin thing!

Yes, it was getting very hot. As a safety precaution much fluid was consumed.
Perhaps a little to much was consumed in retrospect!
Anyway, eventually 8226 8254 8129 9007 took centre stage with a rake of coal
