From the depths of Andy's Vault

Thats right gents, recently I have obtained a scanner thingy ma-bob and last night I figured out the operations of said thingy ma-bob. So after some fiddling around I have managed to upload a few snaps from my younger years, back before the "digital era."
Without further bullshit, heres some relatively old pictures...

A fuckload I know... yet I have some 25 more on this... http://s198.photobucket.com/albums/aa109/VBAndy/Vintage%20Scans/
with probably 200 more to scan.

One last shot I would like to share with the rest of you bastards is a shot that I thought I had lost, yet I hold close to the blood pump...

The only shot I have of the old man working on a loco...Sure he's leaning on a water collum but that'll have to do Razz

Well thats it, thanks for viewing guys.

That there be the "Iron Bark Bridge." Just down from Bank Box loop on the Ballarat line, Not far out of Bacchus Marsh. Its a fair old climb too, roughly 1 in 40 I think... so always sounds good from down below.

I still have it sitting in the desk Filter, to this day I still prefer film over digital...but what can you do in the world of technological advances? Razz

Raichase, sadly...most of what you see here is long gone or way beyond recognition. Hence why they got pulled out of the vault so I can foam over the years gone by Razz

Glad you liked gents, Stick that one up your arse!.
