TASMANIAN RAILWAYS - ANY PHOTOGRAPHS??

[Ross Ewington]

Postcard collectors are aware of the paucity of cards featuring Tasmanian Railways, locomotives, rolling stock, etc. when compared to trams, coaches, shipping and suchlike used as a 'subject'.
With photographs, this is definitely not the case so I have commenced this topic for the posting of appropriate images - any era.

My first contribution is two photos taken at the T.G.R. workshops at Zeehan c.1950 and features tradesmen with conveyances for fettlers under construction or being repaired.
