This once busy yard was home to extensive triple-gauge (1,600mm, 1,435mm & 1,067mm) trackwork, as well as a broad gauge connection from Adelaide & the start of the narrow gauge Wilmington branch.

Mercedes-Benz' new 3.5-litre V8 engine debuted at the 1969 Frankfurt Show in the 280 SE coupé and convertible, and the 300 SEL saloon. An over-square design featuring a cast-iron block and aluminium-alloy cylinder heads, each equipped with a single overhead camshaft, this all-new, state-of-the-art M116 power unit produced 200bhp (DIN) at 5,800rpm courtesy of Bosch electronic fuel injection and transistorised ignition. This was some 40 horsepower more than those models' existing 2.8-litre six, so performance was greatly increased.
From 1971 the new V8 was available in the 280 SE saloon, the marriage resulting in a fast and well equipped 'gentleman's express' combining 200km/h performance with considerable luxury. Running gear was pretty much state-of-the-art from the time, consisting of independent suspension all round and four-wheel dual-circuit disc brakes.
The 3.5-litre version of the 280 SE saloon typifies the resurgence of larger-engined Mercedes-Benz models that began in the late 1960s and early 1970s when the progressive easing of fiscal constraints, which had dissuaded customers from buying cars with large capacity engines, encouraged the German manufacturer to offer bigger, more potent power units. One of the rarer mass-produced Mercedes-Benz saloons - a little over 11,000 being built between March 1971 and September 1972 - the 280 SE 3.5 is today much sought-after by collectors.
This floor-shift automatic transmission 280 SE 3.5 saloon is equipped to an enviable specification, boasting a sunroof and a gorgeous Pullman interior. Owned for many years by a passionate German collector, the car was purchased in Germany by the current Belgian owner some 7 years ago. At the time of purchase the previous owner was told that the car was used by the Mercedes-Benz Factory as a demonstrator during the Munich Olympic Games in 1972 to convey the athletes. Described by the vendor as in excellent restored condition, and in full working order, this rare and supremely elegant modern-era Mercedes-Benz is offered with German registration papers.

S300 and B76 can be seen edging into the platform at Gosford, waiting for a passenger train on platform 3 to depart to Sydney. Both locomotives are owned by CFCL Australia, and at the time were on lease to Interail (QRNational) to operate 1451/4152 Sydney (Yennora) to Broadmeadow (and return) freight. These trains conveyed loading to/from Brisbane and Melbourne, whereas the Brisbane and Melbourne bound trains would pause to attach/detach Sydney loading. It was not uncommon for these trains to be used for loco balancing movements, should extra motive power be required for one of the north/south trains.
If some of these photos look familiar, they probably are - I'm organising my photos from 2008, and taking the oppertunity to rework some of them and either upload for the first time, or replace older photos.

Seen at a house on Manston Lane and all three looked like they had been sat there a while too, judging by the dull paintwork and various flat tyres on each car, the one on the left is a 1995 Mercedes 250 E-Class and hasn't been taxed since 2007, the one in middle is a 1993 range Rover Vogue EFI and hasn't been taxed since 2005 and the one on the right is a 1997 Mercedes 280 S-Class and is still taxed bur has flat tyres and does look a non-runner, a shame to see nice motors like this parked up.

Another towbar-equipped 280SE from the same series of registrations. DVLA says this one did a bit better, lasting to February 1991.
The Lancia Beta (Coupe or HPE?) in the background is worthy of note. Also visible are a Rover P6, Cortina Mk4, Landcrab or Maxi (I think the former), Chevette and Alpine.
Not sure if the washing operation was fully completed...
