You know what I mean. :)

It would be helpful if people think through the requirements before making
suggestions. I've received three suggestions by email which are impossible
to achieve.

I've also received a number of non-serious suggestions which, while
somewhat amusing, aren't very helpful. Yes, it would be fun to do the tour
with 1210 hauling PAM11. :)

This is a serious proposal on behalf of a corporate client. The tours will
receive a considerable amount of publicity for both the promotor and
operator. The budget for this exercise is considerable, but does have its 
limits.

Cheers
