41 Class Sitting at Flat Rock
It was a long night, driving out of Sydney on a Friday night. The weather promised much and the rich agricultural areas of the deep south beckoned. Despite steam almost being extinct there were still many interesting workings down in the South. We passed the Southbound Mail train on our way with a 42 class class leading and several Up freight trains as we went. Daybreak saw us in the rich heartland of the deep south and as we entered Flat Rock there was the wonderful sight of a 41 class idling on a ballast ready to work out on the branch. The CPH would soon be 'fired up' for the run into town for the locals to do their shopping, indeed it was such alovely dream as reality set in as I was passing through the model railway exhibition in Liverpool during my recent trip there.
