hi

Instead of giving it away they should trade it for the tasman garret k1 (I know
it is owned by a different group), or something like a war department 2-10-0 or
a USRA 2-8-0 .....or maybe a reichbann 2-10-0  which I believe the uk group
owns. and then donate it to a australian non-profit group.

Regards
