Let the light shine on

 I will post a few more shots of progress with the HO layout just as soon as I get on top of this mowing (in May 2022 probably), but here's few shots of Eumungerie's station lamp case.  And before you wonder, no, we didn't steal it... 

We were pretty devastated in the mid-1980s to pop out to Eumungerie to find that the last station building had been dragged sideways and torched.  Amid the ruins, this little beast was just sitting there, waiting for a new home.  It has been carefully stored ever since and one day it will again light the way to Eumungerie.  Though this time it will be a solar powered light.  


And the cutest cap.


Back to the mowing.


Cheers!

Don

  2. It is sad to read about how brazen the destruction of heritage was, but good to know that your lamp will live on in memory. And you are not alone Don with the mowing. In my 50 odd years of pushing a mower, I have never experienced such an explosive grass growing season either.
