Volume – 25 Number – 3 September to November 2018 Edition
Volume – 25 Number – 3 September to November 2018 Edition Steam locomotive 3801 (4-6-2) was operated by the New South Wales Government Railways between 1943 and 1976. It is arguably Australia’s most famous steam locomotive, being the only one to have visited all main line states and territories. The 38 Class numbered 30. The first 5 units, with the streamlined design, were built by Clyde Engineering, Granville, New South Wales. The other 25 units were built, semi-streamlined, at the New South Wales Eveleigh (even numbers) and Cardiff (odd numbers) Locomotive Workshops. 3801 entered service on 22 January 1943 and worked the “Newcastle Flyer” for the first time on 23 February 1943 to express passengers to and from Sydney. 2018 celebrates the 75th anniversary of this iconic steam locomotive. See page 9 for a history and restoration update.

'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. The 1 The best pictorial presentation of is in danger of being lost is in: D. -
Mortdale Matters
Welcome to the March-April 2014 edition of Mortdale Matters. It’s great to see younger members around the clubrooms of late; we are keeping our hobby alive and strong for years to come! On some housekeeping matters though, it would be greatly appreciated if we can respect others by talking at a lower voice level; be mindful of what you say; and just respect what people have to say, remembering we are all entitled to an opinion and opinions differ. A job well done to the U-Drive team who attended the 2014 “Thirlmere Festival of Steam”, doing a great job looking after the layout and promoting our association AMRA in NSW. Another top job to the event organisers and THNSW (NSWRTM)! There was lots to do, with a great country culture present. Unfortunately I did not get to have a good look around as I was working as a Passenger Attendant on the Thirlmere Flyer™ to Sydney, luckily I got to hear all about it on the fantastic trip back into town. 24 Hour Run: This year we saw a solid turnout for the 24 hour run, with numbers higher than previous years. Some of the younger members even managed an all-nighter (just!). It was great to see all scales come together, play trains and exchange stories. A big thank you to all the layout sub- committees for organising their layouts and keeping the team spirit high, special thanks to the BBQ crew who cooked breakfast on Saturday morning. April Open Day 2014: To be held on the 5th of April, members are more than welcome to run trains on the layout while guests may run their trains preferably after the event. -
