ARCHIVES SECTION

Please note that the colour scheme illustrations in this section should not be used for colour matching purposes.  While I have attempted to get as close as possible to what I believe the shades to be, the limitations of computer colour means that the reproduction on your computer screen may not be accurate to the originals.  The illustrations are designed to give an indication of the general arrangements of the schemes.

SPECIAL GUEST

Well known local modeller and researcher Howard Armstrong is working on a series of Wagon Profiles of as many classes of NSWR vehicles as he can.  While he is not "Net connected" yet, a sample of what his web site will be like if he ever gets around to sampling the "Virtual World" can be seen here.
