The Sydney Live Steam Locomotive Society Photo Album

South Maitland Railways 10 Class A regular passenger hauler is this 10 class SMR tank locomotive seen here on the elevated track. The anti-tip rail is clearly seen in this view.
	2½ Gauge 36 Class. Typical of our early days is this view of a 36 class on a string of passenger cars, posing on the elevated track.
From the Past! If it was not for the clubhouse on the left, it could be a scene from the NSW bush in days gone by. Here a 5 inch gauge H (17) class takes water while at the head of a small mixed train.
	The Ground Level Railway Locomotive Depot On shed prior to the run are (anti-clockwise), 3803, 3901 (a stretched 38 class, 4-8-2), another 4-8-2 (one of the Society's more historic locos), and a WAGR V Class 2-8-2.
Triple Heading on the Outer Main Here we see a triple header of Max Gay with Bitza, Henry Spencer with his Tasmanian Govt Railways R Class, and Warwick Allison with his WAGR V Class on a 5 car train, plus guard's van.
	The Elevated Railway Signalling A view of the 10 lever ground frame and starting signals. On the left is a reverser worked lower quadrant signal that originally graced the back road at West Ryde (standard gauge!) station. To the immediate left of the ground frame is a Relph Disc ex St Marys. This is a 120v DC driven signal.
Blowfly Barry Potter's Blowfly design published in Australian Model Engineering has proved to be one of the most popular designs in Australia. It is a modern sized 0-4-0 with welded frames and simple running gear and certainly is the No.1 loco in Australia both for new starters and for the more experienced builders looking for a simple change. Here Brian Rawlinson tests out his version, fresh out of the workshops.
	WAGR V Class on a Short Mixed Goods. Members often visit other tracks. This 5 inch gauge Western Australian V class locomotive is built to 1:8 scale due to the prototype being 3 ft 6 inch gauge. It is seen here on a private track with a short goods train. Those cows just can't stay wholly within the cattle wagon!
A Visit to Canberra Brian Carter drives Warwick Allison's 3½ inch gauge 'Tich' around the portable elevated track on a CSMEE invitation weekend. This loco is a lot smaller that most that are seen at this Society!
	More Elevated Railway Signals This striking view of the new home signal for the elevated railway provides a clear reason why NSW railway signals are so attractive! The main signal is built up of components from signals reclaimed from Rosehill some years ago. The dead end arm and bracket came from Moss Vale. The whole is assembled on a new steel tube post with welded on brackets.
Some scenes from our early days! The Rail Transport Museum had an open day at Enfield Locomotive Depot, and we laid a temporary track to help them out! Here we see a 32 class double heading with a 38 class. This was when Enfield was in its dying days. Since this photo was taken, everything you see has been demolished and a new marshalling yard constructed on the site.
	This view of Cec Gunning, our first President, is typical of our early days. The engine is Cec's magnificant 3½ inch gauge 'Coronation' which was a large American size loco and certainly enormous for this gauge. Shown here as a Pacific, the engine was later converted to a 4-6-4. The loco carried the initials of the Society on its tender. The elevated track was of timber construction and has since been replaced (see the top two photos). This view is probably in the 1960's.
