No, if I motorcade, I *rarely* line up at a photostop with the paying
passengers (exception on this tour was Meredith).   This shot was
taken as the train approached the stone bridge at Navigators.  As soon
as the train stopped, the kids and I left the bridge and went up the
line about 750m to get the restart of the train with the stone bridge
behind (I'll post those soon -- I need to download most of my own
pages as drive e: was corrupted in the great meltdown of '00 so that I
can edit them).

It's actually Paintshop at the photostop that removed the headboard. 

Look, I'm not sure that this is a magnet:  ambling around Ballarat
East Depot I cursorily looked over the two Ts (a beautiful restoration
by SRV by the way - congrats guys) and I thought the Steamrail
"headboard" was a discreet blue and gold decal.  IIRC the magnet stuck
to the side of the T on the return from Kulwin was not discreet in any
sense of the word -- must check my archived video files to see if
they're the same magnet, but I suspect not.
