Dear anonymous,

1    >Bill you don't work for the Telegraph do you?
Actually, I don't work at the moment, which is why I have time to engage in
these futile aus.rail debates!  I used to spend a lot of time at 15A Belmore
St. Burwood 2134 but I didn't achieve much!

three 36's
>What a load of shit!
Yup!  But a very old one.  This was the argument from fortress Dorrigo
explaining why 3813 should be in Dorrigo!

arrangements to lease or hire one.
ARHS(ACT) tried this in the 1980's but all that left Thirlmere was a tender
for 1210!

My original posting was a shot at the armchair experts who fill aus.rail
with opinions that only make sense in the context of an assumption that
God/Government/Railway Museums exist to run trains for train spotters.

I'm only surprised that, so far, we haven't had a posting to the effect that
when WCR paint their oil-fired 'Castle' blue, it should be hauling SteamRail
'W' cars and not ex-SAR steel cars!
