What a load of crap. Dorrigo owns 6042, and rents the land it is standing
on. It cannot be legally acquired by another group offering to remove it.
There is an agreement in place for the loco to stay where it is for the time
being. It will eventually be moved to Dorrigo. BTW, forget about a value of
$50,000. There have been offers of over 4 times that amount!
