Gumnut Gully still appears very quiet and abandoned. Not much of activity is to be seen. However, the still to be named creek has started to form. The creek bed is made from toilet paper (!) which has been painted with green and blue paint. The water is a 2mm thick plastic table cover.

Baldwin steam tram
Text & photos from Wombat Creek Tramways Posted on Mon, March 31, 2025 11:08:48Wombat Creek steam Trams have their first unit restored. The tram (locomotive) is loosely based on a similar Baldwin tram from the Sorrento Tramways. The model is a 3D print. Even without additional weight it is a good (and very fast) runner. With an ‘overhanging’ cab the performance is better running ‘cab first’. The only other rolling stock at the steam trams is the trailer seen in the photo. Originally built for transporting ballast the steam trams use the trailer for transporting coal.
Three passenger trailers are under their way in the post. After assembling and painting they will form the backbone of the Wombat Creek steam Trams public activities. Also in workshop (read ‘on the work desk’) is a former Bendigo steam motor.
