Christmas Paybus!
On temporary display at Sydney's Central Station since late August, here is the last surviving example of a recently-restored 1936 "Pay Bus". It was built at Smith & Waddington's, Camperdown (where my paternal grandfather served his apprenticeship), and delivered fortnightly salaries to railway employees and track maintenance gangs. This month, it's decorated for Christmas! 3rd December 2009.
