Random Bollocks From A Semi-Retired Foamer!

NORTH SHORE STEAM

Howdee ladies, gentleman, and assorted haters.
Firstly, a big thank you to those delightful members of the hobby who expressed a desire for me to stop sharing rail items on railway groups. I did give it a lot of thought, honest I did, I do like to try to make everyone happy.
But then it dawned on me, how stupid would it be, catering to the miseries of twats and allowing others to miss out on all the garbage I have to peddle.
So, I humbly apologise to those with a irrational hatred of what I do and genuinely hope that you enjoy this helping of steamy North Shore (Sydney) action.

Anyway, enough of that guff. Back in the bi-centennial year of 1988, there was a huge steam program around the suburbs of Sydney.
Earlier I showed photos from a day of shuttles to East Hills. This post covers the same sort of event, but on the North Shore line.
I've no idea where they ran too

3112 departs Hornsby station for the North Shore line.
Can't recall how far they went on the day, but am sure someone out there will know.

3001 has arrived back in Hornsby with its train.
3112 comes up the rear, in preparation to haul the next run back dwn.
