Hi all,

Here are the workings for 28/7:
5DA1V light engine with G536/G528.
5232 grain with ALF23/42219/42210/CLF3/GM47. Was assisted up the hills by 
5DA1 light engine. G528 shutdown whilst assisting 5232 Grain (low cooling 
water) and was restared.
5MA5 with NR80/NR94/DL50.
5MA3 Patricks with CLP14/GM34/CLF1.
4PA4 TOLL with CLF7/CLP11.
6377/6376 Jamestown grain with GM40/GM45.
6539/6720 Stonie with 706/DA2.
Also that day 8202 was on the drop pit having wheel sets swapped around. My 
job for the day was going down to Islington to see why G528 shutdown earlier 
on. After finding no visible water leaks although the water sightglass was 
down two and a half inches we performed a airbox inspection. I had cylinders 
1 to 8 and on the number two piston dried coolant and liquid coolant was 
found on top of the piston. The result of a head gasket failure. The loco 
was then not allowed to be started.
8118 is still the shunter at Keswick Passenger Terminal.
Trains I saw at Belair were:
1810, 6AM4 TOLL with G536/G528(hauled)/GM43 and 51 platforms.
2010, 6AB6 with NR80/NR45/NR94/DL50 and 71 platforms.

Working for the 29/7 I saw at Belair were:
0415, 6322 Grain with CLP9/GM44/GM46/607/603 and 40 wagons.
0604, Mile End, 6MA4 TOLL with G532/G535/G540 and 70 platforms and 705 on 
7173 SCT shunt as well.
Back at Belair
0619A,0637D, 6MA5 with NR76/NR82 and 64 platforms.
0826, 6MA8 The Overland with NR93 and 14 vehicles.
0915, 6MA3 Patricks with CLF4/CLP8/GM32 and 45 wagons.
0944, 6MP5 with NR86/NR32/NR111(F-111)/DL50 with 62 platforms.
1017, 6MP7 Trailerail with NR91 and 30 units.
1117A,1119D, 6MP9 SCT with G537/G529/G538/GM38 and 39 wagons. G538 had two 
traction motors cut out in Victoria somewhere so this is why GM38 was added 
at Tailem Bend.
1639, 5PM5 with NR90/NR96 and 62 platforms.
1658, 7AD1 light engine with G529/haul G537/G538.

Well thats all from me today.
