CPH “Tin Hare” Rail Motors

The first CPH “Tin Hare” was introduced into service at Culcairn (southern NSW) in December 1923.

These lightweight rail motors were built with a welded steel under frame with a timber body - originally with tongue and groove panelling below the windows!

They were 42 feet long & had a capacity of 45, with an additional 7 flap seats on the central guards compartment.

The Lachlan Valley Railway has 3 operational units, which were in use during the Transport Expo - #12, #24 & #25

Jeremy Messersmith

w/ Tin Hare

Coffman Memorial Union Wednesday March 27, 2013

by Mattie Buezis

Tin Hare, a local stripped down indie-folk duo, was a logical opening act for this show.   Tobin Deen and Andrew Carr seem to hold the same emphasis on songwriting fans have come to expect from the headliner.  Their music is experimental but it is still easy to listen to their rough, sometimes bluesy vocals. Their Outings EP is relatively simple instrumentation, but they are slowly leaving that behind as they develop a fuller sound.

The first two songs of the Jeremy Messersmith’s set, "It's Only Dancing" and "Tourniquet," were among my favorites. They made me want to slow dance.  Not the awkward way people dance at prom but the way a couple would dance in their kitchen, where the only music is the sound of his humming, and her quiet laughter.  So I’m a romantic.

The highlight of my night was when I heard the first line of “Merch Girl” and left the merch table dragging my friend up the stairs to watch Jeremy play his song for us.  Later, he took a few minutes to geek out in his usual style over Star Wars before playing his single “Tatooine.”  He ended with what I hope will be the after dinner mint to his album: “Someday, Someone” which assures that “someday someone will love the fuck out of you."  It was clear throughout the night that Minneapolis  loves the fuck out of Messersmith already.

  I didn’t think I could like his new music more than the songs I’d come to know from the past 3 albums, EP and single.  It seems I was wrong.  After hearing the new songs Messersmith introduced Wednesday, will be holding my breath until they are released on his forthcoming album later this year.
