The scale from the Weighbridge at Middle Brake, Rewanui. - ALBUM -

About this image

DescriptionI don't know if anyone has yet posted a photo of this but here is the scale from the weighbridge at middle brake Rewanui. Upright it stood at least 5 feet high and is quite beautifully ornate. A shame it has to stay up there and rust but the only way it could be moved would be by a large chopper as far as I can see. ..It's very heavy.
Also a big shout out to Chis Bowes and Gary Birchfield for the job done clearing the road up to the station. It looks great and has uncovered some features which have been long hidden. Take a Sunday stroll and have a look.Map^[1]ContributorCyril Hector
