This auction notice appeared today. Most of the rest of the items are coaching stock with a few wagons but there are 2 cranes listed. No idea as to why this lot have come on the market. But wasn't there a dispute with the Australian Historical association? https://www.slatteryauctions.com.au/pro ... -and-accid https://www.slatteryauctions.com.au/pro ... ane-number Full list. https://www.slatteryauctions.com.au/auc ... logue/2959 |

If you go to Google Maps with this link: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Geijera+Pl,+Kingston+ACT+2604,+Australia/@-35.3191587,149.1553077,68m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x6b164c5459e4640f:0x23846de91ad4d93d!8m2!3d-35.3179096!4d149.153976 you can scroll around the site and zoom in on the 35 TON RANSOME RAPIER, but I was unable to find the Grafton. |

The group indulged in some freight operations which come the financial downturn led to losses and a serious cash flow problem which was not fully explained to all concerned and when what was happening was realised by supervisors it was too late. I believe the winding up petition may be heard today. There is an interesting blog here which hints at some very strange goings on: https://arhsliquidation.wordpress.com/ The Grafton is a recent arrival there having been moved from Branxton in the last couple of years. |

Updated Auction list https://www.slatteryauctions.com.au/auc ... logue/2991 And the Ransomes Rapier Lot detail. Seems a bit newer than a 1915 build. https://www.slatteryauctions.com.au/pro ... -and-accid Still no sign of the Grafton. |
