G'day.

No streaming problems with 3801 - just fitting as many people on the trains as
they can.   The load for 3801 seems to be limited to six cars, around 250 tonnes
for the ruling grades on the Short North.   On Sunday, the  train had at least
eight cars.

I just wonder if the passengers are concerned when they book for a steam only
excursion, only to find that it is diesel assisted throughout.   May-be it
doesn't worry them, or the Charterers also want to make as much money as
possible  and also not disappoint prospective late bookings.
