I guess the only thing to be careful of is your terminology. If you are
referring to the St Catherines trip in 1996, then it wasn't a Vintage
Train as the Vintage Train is a registered trading name & only applies to
tour booked as the Vintage Train. The St Catherines tour was a charter,
not a Vintage Train.
Which also applies to this upcoming Bendigo tour. While we do have Double
R's & 15 cars on the return leg, it is because of combining a Vintage
Train & a charter.
I'm not trying to be pedantic, just trying to ascertain whether you are
looking specifically at The Vintage Train or steam tours/charters in
general.
Just for the record, the Vintage Train tour to Woomelang this year was 12
cars, even though it split in 2 for the return, it was 100% VT.
