A fascinating day at the Library of Birmingham on Monday by one of our team working through the archives of Pooley, weighbridge manufacturers, led to the discovery of some relevant and not so relevant - but very interesting - documents and pictures to aid with our project to reinstall the weighbridge at Boston Lodge. ...

An interesting rabbit hole - as anyone who researches anything will know, it is very easy to fall down a rabbit hole or two. While looking at Pooley weighbridge information online as part of the Boston Lodge Weighbridge project, this interesting snapshot of colonial life cropped up. This is an article from The Brisbane Courier in 1910 explaining that Pooley weighbridges did meet the British Board of Trade requirements, though other manufacturers products did not. The edition of the paper also included an advert by Pooley which is interesting because it lists the States of Australia separately in its Countries list. Australia had been formed into a single country (the Commonwealth of Australia) by the Act of Federation on 1 January 1901 but each State continued with its own Government and legislation as well as the Federal parliament - a situation that continues today. Pooley was therefore wise to advertise the States individually as compliance with one State Railway's rules did not mean automatic compliance with another. Intriguingly, and rather unfortunately, this has persisted; even now in 2026, equipment approved for use say in NSW, cannot be used in QLD without another round of approvals. And let's not talk about the different track and structure gauges...!The article and advert are copyright of Trove, a collaboration between the National Library of Australia and hundreds of partner institutions around Australia that brings together records and digitised content from libraries, museums, galleries, universities, archives, data repositories and other research and collecting organisations. Funding for digitisation of The Brisbane Courier contributed by State Library of Queensland.

It’s not often we post about model railways depicting our railway but this is worth a share as, apart from Minffordd being an excellent model, this blog post describes the Minffordd weigh office and our Boston Lodge Weighbridge project. ... See MoreSee Less

The most important building on our layout is probably the most overlooked. Here's more about the model and how I made it.
