Nomuldi & Robinvale tour

Look at the earlier thread re the headboard.
SV claims that it will remove the headboard on request, but doesn't.
On the otherwise pleasant Kulwin weekend trip a couple of years ago, the
board was removed at only one photostop (the final one) for the whole
weekend.

On the recent parallel run with 38s from NSW it wasn't removed at all.

Steamrail has a martyr mentality over being stoned when placing a
headboard onto a loco at a Gippsland photostop a decade ago, and is
determined to make everyone suffer for ever after.

If only the organisation could have looked at the reasons for the
stoning.

I am reminded of a cafe in Benalla which I blackbanned years ago: it had
a sign 'we do not serve takeaway coffee'.  Any shop which has so much
demand for takeaway coffee that it has to put up a sign should have
grabbed the opportunity to sell the product.
