Re: V/line Coloured Buffet Car at the ARHS Museum

["Roderick Smith" <rodsmith@werple.net.au>]

The buffet at the museum is one of Wimmera, Mitta Mitta or Tanjil.  They
lost their exterior names when placed on sg in 1962; they lost their
interior names in the first repainting thereafter (c1964).

The BMC carriage is owned by Bluebird Rail (SA); it is a modified Overland
sleeping car (Paiti): an interior photo appeared in one of March's
Australian railway magazines (Catchpoint?).
