I heard a week ago that 3830 would be staying overnight at Maitland, so I'm
not surprised. Just back from seeing it in full steam on day II.

I was on the escort train of the Millenium Aurora last year, and I'm sure
many will recall 3830's big-end bearing problems of the trip (open to
correction). Is this a long term problem, as it seems crews are taking it
easy on '30?
