As well as cinema, the theatre served as a social-event venue in the later1930s and ,presumably, the 1940s. The seating, therefore, cannot have been anchored to the floor.

I’ve also uploaded a consist which has the formation these wagons usually run in for each of the liveries released. Thanks to thebigman for allowing me to release these reskins

66 Mayne St, Murrurundi
Since at least 2008 until recently, 66 Mayne Street was an art gallery and restaurant/café named ‘Haydon Hall’. The name refers to the foundation of Murrurundi and the key role played by colonial settler Thomas Haydon.

Topic: Murrurundi
While 66 Mayne St did lie within the Haydonton boundary, the building’s history does not extend back to the colonial period, nor has it ever been occupied by a member of the Haydon family. In 1938 the Commercial Banking Company of Sydney (CBC) let a contract for the construction of its new Murrurundi-branch building.

Here are some screenshots of showing my interpretation of how the CBC branch building and grounds appeared in 1955.
The street frontage of 66 Mayne St faces South, so the sun never shines upon it. Consequently, the following shots of the frontage are taken at 4pm session time to reduce the brightness of sunlit faces of adjacent properties.
The advent of ‘Haydon Hall’ (circa 2008) saw a comprehensive redevelopment of the back garden for dining. A large terrace was constructed and diners were protected from the weather by an open-sided tent. Greenery surrounded the terrace. I joke that CBC in 1955 have anticipated the lush future of the back garden by providing their Murrurundi-branch employees with a calm oasis in which to enjoy their lunch hours.
Note the colonial-style carriageway tunnel that passes through the building on its left side (to the right when viewed form the rear). By1938 the resident bank manager would not travel by horse and carriage, therefore I show a garage, rather than stables, in the rear yard.
The southern bank of the Pages River is just 60 metres away from the rear of the building, The land slopes quickly down from Mayne St level to the river flats. The ground floor of the bank is 2 steps above the Mayne St level. Therefore the ground floor at the building’s rear is high relative to the back yard level, and a flight of steps is required from the back door. Keeping the ground floor high avoids nuisance flooding.
