Marulan station. The Train Radio gear was installed in a room of the station building, rather than a green hut, due to heritage considerations. See State Records www.flickr.com/photos/state-records-nsw/2869138776/ When first entered the room used was very dusty and appeared not to have been entered for many years. On a shelf on the wall near the door there was a hurricane lamp and an ancient box of matches. There was no electric light or power outlets.
