INFRASTRUCTURE

---

BELOW: I hope this is of interest to modellers as it shows a freshly painted Departmental Residence, DR, at Dimboola in 1977 and clearly shows the paint application. I have colour balanced this photo as well as I can using the galvanised water tank as a "neutral."This was the classic DR colour scheme that needs to be represented on every VR layout! I will move this to a "structure page" when one is created. Photo courtesy Andrew Hennell.
