Society NewsTAM and BR roofing worksby Bruce Agland

In the early days of the Society, two vehicles (BR 1395 and TAM 503) were acquired to serve as member facilities for overnight stays and also to act as storage for the Society’s archives at Paterson. BR1395, a former 1st class sitting car along with CPH14 (on shop bogies) were the first Society vehicles to arrive at Paterson on 4 October 1984. TAM 503 followed later arriving in late November 1988. When the depot shed was constructed in the 1992-93 period, the two loco hauled passenger vehicles were relocated onto an isolated section of track below the Station Master’s cottage. Over the years, water intrusion has been a recurring problem and despite the regular painting of the exteriors, and the application of Emerclad to reseal the roofs, the effects of the weather have continued to deteriorate the fabric of the vehicle bodies and windows.

Over the last two years, the Society has expended a considerable effort to reduce weather damage to both the TAM and the BR. The first stage of improvement works was to provide a “tropical” roof over the cars to reduce the level of water intrusion and shelter the vehicle exteriors and roofs from the elements. A design for the new roof was prepared and the materials were supplied by Stramit Building Products. As a wholesaler, Stramit does not generally trade directly with the public, however, as a not-for-profit organisation, an exception was made for the Society and we were able to purchase directly from Stramit at a very advantageous pricing.

Due to the difference in roof heights of the TAM and the BR, the roof was built in two separate sections to keep the overall profile as low as possible. This also facilitated the construction by keeping the roof sheeting at manageable sizes. The new shelter roof structures are bolted directly to the car sides and all of the construction was undertaken by Society members. This produced an excellent result as will be seen in the photographs of the completed work. The construction team was led by Mick Walsh and comprised Steve Davies, Grahame Heggie, Bryan Hicks, Jerry Jerome, Eric Larkins, Bruce Matthews, Grahame Schonberg, Dave Thomas, Arthur Tunstall and Bob Walsh. Once completed, the downpipes were connected to the main drainage system. Connection of the drains was a laborious task, requiring the manual excavation of trenches across the car park by Grahame Schonberg.

While the roof structure has limited the water intrusion, the windows, especially those along the railway side, were rapidly deteriorating due to age and weather damage and were also allowing leakage of water into the car interiors. A further project to provide a side covering between the roof and the top window letterboard level was completed in August of this year. Again, Stramit came to the party and provided all of the materials at discounted rates. This work has also further limited water intrusion into the cars and should extend the period until additional remedial works are required. Eric Larkins, John Payne, Daniel Conway and Grahame Schonberg are to be commended for their excellent work and dedication in completing this second stage of the project.

Member Grahame Schonberg has commenced a further project constructing new windows for the vehicles and these are being replaced on a one-for-one basis to maintain the security and integrity of the vehicles. When completed, the new windows will ensure any further water intrusion has been substantially eliminated and the security of the cars restored.

The Board of Management extends its thanks to those who participated in all stages of the construction, particularly to Stramit for their support by supplying the materials required at substantially reduced prices.

Shed Maintenance – 2014 by Bruce Kingsford

Background

As most of you may be aware the Society constructed Stage I and II of a storage shed for its rail motors, commencing during November 1992 and completed during August 1993.

Financial assistance was sought, on a dollar-for-dollar basis of up to $24,000, from the NSW Government on the recommendation of the then Heritage Council of NSW. The final cost was $56,979. The insurance value of the structure, including labour, in 1992 was $115,000. The current replacement cost would be in excess of $200,000, including labour.

The aim of the project was to provide a galvanised steel structure, capable of storing the Society’s rail motors. The structure is of a modular design and was planned to be extended in three more stages. Stages I and II provided a structure 14 metres span x 75 metres in length.

M. O’Sullivan and Associates were engaged to design and certify the structure in accordance with SAA Codes. Metroll Building Products from Warners Bay provided the steel structure and colorbond sheeting at a greatly reduced cost to the Society.

MaintenanceTypically, steel structures are designed for a return period or ‘life of structure’. After this period, the structure may require repair or maintenance to ensure its structural integrity.

Well, that was 22 years ago, the structure is now in need of some maintenance. Due to the design of integrating cold rolled sections, back to back, lack of consideration was given to avoiding corrosion. This was an oversight during the initial design and during this maintenance period this will be rectified.

Contrary to popular belief the preferred orientation for purlins and girts is for them to toe up! This is to maximise the geometric properties of the section and not to provide storage racks or a convenient receptacle to discard items that may be surplus to requirements. Mild steel items that come in contact with the structure will lead to the deterioration of the galvanised coating which then leads to corrosion of the section and therefore more maintenance and cost to the Society.

It was found that the bottom of most columns were in need of treatment as the galvanised finish was past its use by date and treatment for light corrosion was required. The base of all columns were separated, and treated, so that moisture would not promote any more corrosion.

The four end columns were assessed as needing replacement due to excessive corrosion. As the structure is of a modular bolted design, utilising cold rolled ‘C’ Sections , it was a straight forward process to replace these items. All structure again being supplied by Metroll of Warners Bay.

An access to the roof area has to be constructed to provide permanent and safe access for future maintenance of roof sheeting and fastenings. To be able to do the roof maintenance safely several safety harness attachment points also need to be installed on the roof.

Cleaning of gutters on the east or railway side needs to be undertaken and consideration of a continuous roof ventilator for diesel exhaust is also being undertaken.

Future extensionOnce the maintenance has been completed there are materials in hand for the extension of the shed, by 10 metres, at the southern end. This will make the shed 85m in length.

Operations Diary26 July Gloucester Chill-out

Returning to Gloucester for the “Chill Out” festivities, CPH 1 and 7 operated shuttles for locals on a day with weather very appropriate for the event name.

9 August Gulgong, Red Cross Society

Operating as a fundraiser for the Red Cross Society, renowned Gulgong tour organiser Ray Barry coordinated this Gulgong tour using 621/721, collecting passengers at Singleton and Muswellbrook before heading along the Ulan line for lunch and an inspection of the historic town. What started as a foggy morning turned into a glorious sunny day with a capacity load enjoying their trip to the “Ten Dollar Town”.

20 August Gulgong

Only a week after his last trip west, Ray Barry used 621/721 to operate his annual pilgrimage tour to Gulgong, retracing the path and success of his previous outings.

29 Aug – 2 Sept Coffs Harbour

Travelling to Coffs Harbour with an overnight stay and local shuttle at Wauchope, CPHs 3, 7 and 1 operated a program of trips over three days to various destinations both north and south of the town including Coramba, Landrigans, Boambee and Nambucca Heads. Arranged to celebrate 99 years of local rail operations all trips carried capacity crowds and attracted much attention in the local press. During the visit the CPHs stabled at the nearby Boambee siding whilst “Barracks” were arranged for the crew in apartments adjacent to the station thanks to organiser Neil Manson. With the Rail Motors overwhelming popularity recognised, the Society’s return to “Coffs” has already been locked in for January to operate further trips.

Extensive celebrations are planned to be held in Coffs Harbour throughout 2015, the Rail Centenary year, activities culminating with a week-long “Smoke on the water” Festival in August. Being focused in the harbour and station precinct the event will include various forms of transport including rail, road, air and sea and will provide numerous travel opportunities and other activities for visitors. For information on the event go to www.coffsharbourrailcentenary.com.au

Vale Peter James Kitcher, 1955-2014 It is with great sadness that we report the passing of long-serving and active Society member Peter James Kitcher on 25 September 2014.

“Kitch”, as Peter was known to many of his friends, was a passionate supporter and follower of most things railway and apart from the time he devoted to his family and soccer interests, his life revolved around trains and in particular safeworking systems.

Peter was born in the north coast town of Kempsey in 1955, a railway location that he would later have an intimate working knowledge of in his working life. Commencing with the railways in 1975 as a Station Assistant, Peter studied in his own time to gain additional qualifications including Goods and Coaching Accounts, Timekeeping and Guards Duties and was passed for safeworking duties in 1984. Progressing to the role of Signalman, Peter very much enjoyed working several of the Hunter area’s “big frame” mechanical interlocked signal boxes before moving into the Broadmeadow CTC complex in 1988 as a North Coast Area Controller. Here he was responsible for the remote signalling and safeworking over multiple CTC interlockings and sections, a job he relished and understood intimately.

As a result of ARTC’s NSW lease commencement in 2004, Peter accepted a voluntary redundancy package and commenced another era of his railway life. As a contract protection officer, Peter was employed to establish and manage on-track safeworking arrangements for project and maintenance crew worksites throughout the state.

During Peter’s career his keen interest and knowledge of safeworking systems resulted in him establishing contacts well beyond his work jurisdictions and Peter became a close associate of senior signalling authorities including design and engineering staff. Peter was always keen to share and extend his knowledge and contributed articles for the newsletter of the Signalling Records Society.

Peter also took an active interest in the collection and preservation of superseded railway equipment as well as model railways, activities which frequently saw him visiting his extensive group of friends and operating layouts both local and further afield.

Peter’s association with the Society commenced in January 1989 when he joined as member No 99. Following the return to main line operations in August 1996, Peter volunteered as a member of the operations team and over the subsequent period of 18 years worked numerous trips for the Society. As a safeworking supervisor Peter enjoyed putting his intimate knowledge of safeworking into practise “on the road” and had hoped to one day to further expand his railway skills and qualify as a Driver. Peter was a regular contributor of reports and photos to this newsletter and fulfilled the role of Editor for many years. Peter served on the TRMS Committee from 2003 to 2008 but may be best remembered for his efforts as a long-term member of the depot infrastructure team. In recent months Peter had

embarked on a program to inspect and upgrade the Paterson yard area track where his knowledge and contacts within the rail industry facilitated considerable benefits for the Society. Peter’s good reputation reflected his exemplary commitment to his work and support of others. His contribution and friendship will be sorely missed by many.

During his time at Broadmeadow CTC Peter met the other love of his life – Kathryn, who he married and with whom he cared for an extensive family including seven children, eventually becoming the grandfather of 13 grandchildren.

Peters final road was set on Thursday 2 October at a service overflowing with his family, friends and work colleagues.

Our thoughts and sincere condolences go out to Peter’s family and friends at this sad time.

From the Archives

While recently perusing some 1987 editions of The Tin Hare Gazette, I discovered the announcements and subsequent descriptions of the successful tours operated by the fledgling Rail Motor Society in its first year of operations. A great variety of tours were run, but the Wybong Winetasters were probably the most successful.

This type of tour was pioneered in the 1970s by a Newcastle travel firm using an SRA 620/720 two-car diesel to travel to wineries in the Upper Hunter Valley. They were enormously successful and the Society’s committee thought that their revival a decade or so later might be equally successful, this time using the Society’s vintage CPHs. How right they were.

These tours proved to be very complex to organise and involved the cooperation of many organisations and individuals. A lot of assistance from Bruce Harris, Geoff Murray and others went into organising them and many visits were made to Denman and the historic Hordern’s Winery prior to their running.

The first tour ran on 2 May 1987. However, the trip actually began on the Friday when the CPHs travelled down from Paterson and were stabled overnight in Newcastle East yard. Early Saturday morning saw large quantities of croissants, wines, cheese, biscuits, tea, coffee and cake being taken on board.

At 8:30am only a half full train pulled out of Broadmeadow, but as the train approached Thornton, the other half a load could be seen waiting enthusiastically on the platform.

On the down journey, passengers were served champagne and orange juice together with a croissant. Later, several varieties of wines were served as well as cheese and biscuits. This kept the Society’s volunteer attendants on the move and, how many guards on a country rail motor of yesteryear had to put jam on croissants and open bottles of champagne? All this of course is second nature on today’s tours but remember, these tours were pioneers 27 years ago.

A traditional break was had at Muswellbrook to ‘stretch the legs’ and to change crews then it was off down the ‘branch’ to Denman. What a pleasant surprise awaited. The disused platform had been cleared of overgrown vegetation and there waiting were two coaches belonging to the local Margins Bus Company.

A delightful run through the hills ensued before the picturesque Hordern’s Winery was reached. This winery nestled on the side of a hill overlooking the vineyard and the Wybong Creek valley. After a leisurely look around, which included a talk about the

wines and a history of the building and vineyard, a barbeque lunch was served along with a variety of Hordern’s wines.

I remember thinking back then what a near perfect experience those tours were – relaxing in the sun, overlooking a beautiful valley, a replete ‘inner man’, enjoying superb wines and being conveyed to and from by those magnificent rail motors. It didn’t get much better than that.

On the way home, biscuits, cake, tea, coffee and port were served as the two ‘very happy’ CPHs swayed back to Thornton and Broadmeadow.

So successful was that first Wybong Winetaster, additional trips were run on 13 September, 10 October and 7 November that year and 8 May, 19 June and 4 September 1988. As the saying goes – when you’re on a good thing, stick to it. Obviously, those tours relied on a great many people, especially all the SRA crews and Society members. I especially remember the ‘veteran’ Muswellbrook team of Stan Nash and Brian White and their lunchtime anecdotes of life in the steam era and on the rail motor service on the Merriwa branch.

Ah ... what memories.
