1. Are they "banned" or is just that they have had their ASW display
units removed and thus *can't* lead across the Pleurisy Plains?

2. Exactly what does 6tn mean?

3. And from your point of view as a professional, are NRs the
greatest thing to drive since sliced bread?

4. Finally, are there specific "big wheel" drivers within NR (given
that it's a freight only operation), or are all crew able to
operate locos hauling passenger trains?
