What a busy time it has been at the club! There has been the continued construction of the O scale exhibition layout, the members‟ auction and general layout work and operation. The AMRA celebrated its 60th anniversary in Melbourne, some of our club members went to the anniversary celebration and have brought back photos and stories from the event, to find out more and see what happened see page 6, 7 and 8. Upcoming events include a weathering clinic by Rod Fussell on the evening of Friday 8th July and the monthly forum on 18th July. The fast approaching 49th Sydney Model Railway Exhibition over the October long weekend is on its way and as usual, we need as many volunteers as possible to make this exhibition of our great club run smoothly. We need volunteers for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of October and the 31st of September for the set up day. As a volunteer you will be provided with lunch if you volunteer for six continuous hours as well as free entry to the exhibition and lengthy breaks. Details will be out soon. The Open Modelling Competition will be held during the exhibition period. AMRA encourages modellers to submit a piece of work in to the competition. There are six categories including Scratchbuilt locomotive, Scratchbuilt Rolling Stock, Scratchbuilt Lineside Structure, Kitbased/ Kitbashed/Proprietary Modified Locomotive, Kitbased/Kitbashed/Proprietary Modified Rolling Stock, Kitbased/Kitbashed/Proprietary Modified Lineside Structure; and school student category.

  • 'Ugly Sydney' Or an Enhancement of the Greatest Rail
    Australian Folklore 21, 2006 157 The Fate of Eveleigh: More of ‘Ugly Sydney’ or an Enhancement of the Greatest Rail Heritage Site in the World? Brian Dunnett and Robert J. Haworth Lovers of heritage and of a human-scale city alike are alarmed at the latest proposal for the old Eveleigh Railway Workshops site that covers many hectares of inner Sydney.1 The New South Wales Government Planning Minister Frank Sartor has recently excised the area from heritage protection legislation in order to allow maximum possible development of the site for high-rise apartment blocks.2 Of particular concern is the current threat3 to close the still functioning Large Erecting Shed and transform it into either a completely new 12 storey office tower or an ‘adaptive re-use’ four storey block. Unfortunately, the concerns of community groups, even if they represent a majority of citizens, mean little to contemporary Governments, especially at the State level. This is particularly true of the New South Wales Government, which is in the perverse position, after 15 years of uninterrupted economic boom, of being squeezed between accelerated development brought on by the boom and declining tax revenue4 exacerbated by the increasingly unequal power distribution between the States and Canberra. Developer Section 94 contributions allowed for under the NSW EPA Act5 go to Local Government, thus giving the State Minister an incentive to excise choice areas and over- develop them as a means of much-needed revenue raising from special developers’ contributions which go direct to the State Government.

  • LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Tuesday, 10Th December
    LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Tuesday, 10th December, 1991 ______ Mr Speaker (The Hon. Kevin Richard Rozzoli) took the chair at 9.30 a.m. Mr Speaker offered the Prayer. COASTAL PROTECTION (AMENDMENT) BILL (No. 2) Second Reading Mr MOORE (Gordon), Minister for the Environment [9.31]: I move: That this bill be now read a second time. A high priority of this Government is its continued commitment to preserving our coastline for the future by co-ordinated and effective planning and management. In 1988 the Government made the decision to reconstitute the Coastal Council of New South Wales. The Coastal Council had functioned until 1985 when the then Minister, now the Leader of the Opposition, failed to reappoint that council. This Government's commitment to coastline management is greater than that evidenced by the previous Government. We recognise the great potential of the Coastal Council and therefore the need to amend the Coastal Protection Act to allow the council to function effectively. As an interim measure the New South Wales Coastal Committee was established in March 1989 under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act until the Coastal Protection Act could be amended. Under the Government's coastal policy the reconstituted Coastal Council will take on responsibility for monitoring and implementing policy and ongoing policy review, which is currently vested with the New South Wales Coastal Committee. It is through the Coastal Committee-cum-Coastal Council that the Government will continue to overcome the fragmentation of responsibility of ad hoc decision-making that hampered coastal management in the past. The membership of the new Coastal Council will be expanded from 10 to 16 with a quorum for a meeting being nine members.

INTRODUCTION The Australian Railway Historical Society (ARHS) traces its origins to October 1937, when the then Australasian Railway & Locomotive Society produced its first ‘Monthly Bulletin’. This was essentially as a members’ newsletter (known as the ‘Bulletin’) run off on a Gestetner machine until May 1950 when it was updated to a letterpress periodical. The ARHS has since grown into a national organisation with divisions in each state devoted to researching and recording the history of Australia’s railways. Its original ‘Bulletin’ evolved into Australia’s oldest specialist magazine covering the history of our colonial railway systems and their evolution into a national network. The society formally changed its name to the Australian Railway Historical Society in January 1952.

  • Don't Throw the Baby out with the Bathwater! Submission to the NSW Department of Planning Regarding the Eveleigh Workshops
    Don’t Throw the Baby Out with the Bathwater! Submission to the NSW Department of Planning Regarding the Eveleigh Workshops Site, Redfern: the North Eveleigh Concept Plan. Prepared by Brian Dunnett, Co-ordinator of the ‘Trains of Treasure’ Historical Railway Exhibition, 1985. With assistance from the following people with an active interest in New South Wales Railway Heritage: Robert Haworth - Heritage Futures Research Centre, The University of New England Bob Rymes Eveleigh Locomotive Workshop Union Stewards Committee 1950’s and other committee members from that time. Introduction The following comments on the heritage features of the concept plan from the Redfern Waterloo Authority for the North Eveleigh Site are made with a personal knowledge of the history of the North Eveleigh and the Eveleigh site (as a whole), and the understanding reached between the former workforce, the then NSW Labour Council, State Rail, and the NSW Government in the early 1980’s concerning the protection of railway heritage that was located there. My knowledge of many heritage features of the Eveleigh Workshops has been accumulated over 70 years both through a long family association with the site, and personally as an electrical apprentice and tradesperson, a State Rail Workshop Communication Officer in the late 1980’s, and later University study and research into rail heritage. This submission is also presented with an awareness of the failure of the NSW Government and its Departments (mainly State Rail and RailCorp) to protect the international, national and state heritage status of the site since it was closed in the 1980’s. Some details of this chain of events and broken agreements on the site’s heritage status and future that have allowed this situation to occur can be found by close reading of the Heritage Impact Statement prepared as part of the concept plan by Weir and Philips – Architects and Heritage Consultants.

This event included a large array of activities and displays including steam power: stationary engines, traction engines, steam and diesel locomotives from past eras, train trips, and even an impressive model railway layout in the signal box at the Maitland Railway Station (with a miniature coal train making a representation of the South Maitland Railway traffic; an important part of the past in the region). This video contains snippets of very busy train activity at the Maitland Station, including regular coal and passenger traffic, as well as ‘Steamfest’ touring steam trains and rail motors coming and going.
