Hi everyone,
           This is interesting news, but I cant say totally unexpected.
  Who would be likely to buy these two locomotives for restoring to 
operation?? It seems very unlikely that any of the other groups in South 
Australia would be interested, so could we be looking at a Victorian group??
  Most worrying, if Steamranger was offered a cheque by a scrap merchant, 
would they stupid enough to accept it??
