Re: Tassie Garret & Penndennis Castle

Yes, I quoted this example  to when writing to a  number of people and
groups  about the Penndennis Castle,
The response  was "we didn't know that" and "we will investigate it further"

Maybe when claimed  by some people on this newsgroup that it was offered to
other groups in Australia Rio did not speak to the right people.(at govt
level).
Hopefully a sudden rush of enquiries from these people may cause Rio to
think that something is going on.

Anybody  critical of the number of locomotives in parks  or rusting in
museums should write to the relevent government people. If  100 of you wrote
asking  for more funding for the NSWTM or a similar group  you might achieve
something.
