Maternal and Child Welfare Car No. 7

The model is a Three Foot Six model kit bashed as bit. I think the kit was a 1^st class carriage and Car 7 was a 2^nd class carriage, thus the windows are not correct. I was given the kit and was not sure how it would fit into the layout. A modelling mate (Ken) grew up in Winton and would often tell us about the Bubba Car coming to town. The carriage is now in his collection. 

Winton Mixed.

This carriage (452) was one of a number that provided government services to western towns across Queensland. Operated by Department of Health and Home Affairs, Maternal and Child Welfare Car No. 7 was based at Hughenden. The carriage was conveyed on goods trains to stations on the Mt Isa line and Winton. An article on the carriage can be found in the AMRA Qld club library, March 2004 Australian Sn Modeller.
