Aus loco discussion mailing list
Hi all,
A very pleasant barbecue and train watching session
was enjoyed last night by a few regular Ausloco correspondents near
Exeter.
Many thanks to Mark Hardacre for his timely posting
on the whereabouts of 5MS7 with 4836 and EL51. Proof that this
forum actually works, Tim Arnot and I managed to locate the train and
get some nice sunny photos on our way south (and run into Mark!) , with the
assistance of a mobile phone call to Lindsay Lucas who went on line for us and
retrieved the posting - the updated "railway telegraph" in
action!
