I noticed something new to me on that great Waltham '92 model website.They list private label '92's made for New South Wales Government Railway.Has anyone ever seen one of these?They don't show a picture of one on the site.Also, did Australia have the same or similar railroad watch standards as here and Canada?I hope this starts another chapter of railroad watch education!...Thanks, Ted.

You pose a very interesting question, I have never looked into it, but as you have piqued my curiosity so I will. I have spoken to a few fellows that worked in the Queensland Rail organisation and they had actual Moeris watches, these were only low end as they worked on the track gangs but were supplied with watches. Queensland would be a much younger organastion then the New South Wales Rail seeing it was the first State to be settled with this type of infrastructure.

Thanks,Bila.I've never been to your beautiful country,but I know people that have and they say life in Australia is much the same as here,so I wonder about their RR watch time service.When I saw mention of those model 92 Walthams made for Australia I thought I'd ask.Happy New Year to you and yours, Ted.

Pretty much the same lifestyle Ted, just a lot less people. As soon as I can glean some information about the Railways here I will post for everybody to peruse.
Best wishes to you and your family as well as everyone else on the IHC185 for the New Year.
Regards, Bila
