A fantastic historical find in LP2, a current restoration
project at Don. LP2 was a railcar built in 1925 for the
Tasmanian Government Railway. In 1938 the wooden body was
removed and the railcar was re-engined and rebuilt with a
metal body. The old wooden body was sold and transported to
Clarence Point on the Tamar River where it was used as a shack
for 61 years before being donated to the Don River Railway in
2000. Restoration has been slow and steady, and yesterday (May
3) restorer Col Jolley was busy working on a light fitting and
found this card wedged into the panel. It has been signed by
the men who built this car in the Victorian Railway workshops
at Newport. Who could have imagined that it would be found,
intact, 88 years later! These men would be proud to know that
the railcar is being restored and one day will run again on
the Don River Railway.
