For railfan trips I think they should remove the headboard at the first
photostop and put it back on after the last one. This would give Steamrail
advertising in Melbourne while still giving railfans a chance to see the
locos without the headboard. It wouldn't hurt Steamrail to make a small
compromise like this.
