We’re having two events tomorrow (Sunday 23rd)! First up is a trip on a vintage train – Lachlan Valley Railway have a 1920s Rail motor train in Armidale this weekend. Four of us went in steampunk outfits on the dinner trip to Walcha Road pub last night – heaps of fun! Tomorrow, about 6 of us will go in costume on the 11.50am shuttle to Uralla and back. We’ll be in Carriage CPH 25, in the back end – there are still seats left in that carriage, so anyone who’d like to join us can book tickets here.

I’m planning to wear a 1920s ‘One hour’ dress; others might be going in 1920s, 1950s, or other historical fashions.

The train returns to Armidale around midday. We’ll probably have some lunch afterwards, and then from 2pm we’re having a making get-together at the Historical Society’s rooms at 114 Faulkner Street – on the corner with Cinders Lane. Bring along ideas, questions, projects for heaps of costuming discussion and inspiration!

Here are a few photos from the train trip yesterday evening. Katinka and Pete are Steampunk enthusiasts and always look great, so Jane and I (Bron) decided to go in Steampunk style, too.
