Greatest VR Newsletter Covers #99

MAY 1961


Before there were hump yards.

Try modelling this on your Model railway. Ranked at Number 99 on my 100 Greatest Newsletter Covers is the May 1961 VR Newsletter. Inside, it states; In stately fashion, the camels from Coward Springs, near Lake Eyre in South Australia emerge from livestock wagons at the Newmarket Stockyards, last month. It is almost four years since camels were last railed as special consignments, and they were for the Melbourne Zoo. With the camels there were 40 horses.

It goes to prove there is a prototype for everything! IDR Models have even produced a model of the W Class diesel that has just shunted them into position.
