[Ausloco] ADMIN: Off Topic Discussion

[Bob <alco@acay.com.au>]

Gentlemen,
                now that Ausloco has returned to a reliable medium to
share information we seem to have become somewhat overwhelmed with
messages many of which are off topic. I will again remind you what this
list is intended for.
PURPOSE
• A Forum for discussing CURRENT Australian and New Zealand motive power
trends.
• A Forum for discussing past Australian and NZ motive power. Steam,
diesel and electric, and  which has since been withdrawn from service.
• To allow overseas Rail Fans to gain an insight into Australia's and
NZ's varied motive power.
• To provide assistance for railway historians and researchers, wherever
possible.
• To provide a 'Grapevine' for known 'rostered' workings which may be of
interest to Subscribers.    Especially in a photographic context.
• To provide a 'Warning' mechanism for imminent or proposed motive power
changes, including those which may fall into the 'Rumour' category.
• To allow 'Trip Reports' to be Posted  Either in a 'story line' or a
tabulated format.
• To provide an opportunity to 'reminisce' a bit !!

I ask you ALL to please stick to this. Ausloco is not for general rail
discussion or chit chat.
Thanks
Bob Gioia
Ausloco administrator
