Valley heights-103A
Earlier in the year during one of my trips up to Lithgow I took some time out to visit Valley heights during one of their operating days. On the day they were running the Sydney steam tram 103A, one of three still in existence that used to be operated on the extensive tramway systems in the bustling city. I must admit this item is a much more trivial piece compared to the 57 class which can be seen in the background however.
