At the old Clubhouse. After the day’s running, the members sit around to chat,
count the day’s takings and discuss all the day’s activities. The Clubhouse was
an old tin shed, so cold in winter any form of heating was irrelevant, and so
stiflingly hot in summer made worse by the mosquitoes banging on the door
outside. You had to be dedicated.

Glenroy. Note the GY wagon far centre-right. There were a few sidings at this
location and unusually, the only wagon turntables, which were just large enough
to hold a four-wheeled wagon, I had ever seen in Victoria. They were once a
common feature on early railways, their purpose was to move wagons on to track
at too sharp an angle to be accessed by points.
