There is 2 BRS's sitting next to the station at tottenham, one is BRS 222(i think) in WCR and a Vline BRS (i think) snack bar, but i couldnt get the number.

They are 2 EX WCR BRS's the one in WCR is: BRS 222, the one in WCR Tangerine (it has the early WCR Livery, eg V/Line Wording covered with WCR Tangerine Decal, eg White W applied to match the V/Line White Line and the cut in the V/Line Green line where the W is) is: BRS 223, a slight hint, is a third ex WCR BRS coming up from WMB next week is to join them, then they will be heading north for SG conversion treatment (I can't disclose any more, as I have been asked not too).
Are they easy to photograph from Totty station with a normal 35mm camera without a zoom fitted to the camera?

Anyone willing to get out at Totty and take a look?

Since I had nothing better to do yesterday afternoon, I went out and had a look. Got a photo too. I might upload it tonight when I get home.
I noticed also that there appears to be another WCR livery pass car or van amongst all the grain wagons at the up end of the yard. Anyone know what it is?

One effectively has been for some time (10 years?). A BRS was converted to Vice Regal support car Mitta Mitta. A few compartments converted to sleeping berths and a modified kitchen.
Cheers

One compartment is a bathroon/shower, three are sleeping compartments, one is retained as a sitting compartment and one was knocked out to enlarge the kitchen.
That's an attention-getter!
