Seeing I posted the original message about Easter Monday on 1.4.98, I
think I do remember..... <g!>

According to S98.6029....

1BCE, 63BW, 68BW, 7ABE, 38BE, 3ABE, 12AE (plus BRS according to
Stuart), R766 ex Spencer Street.

Ex Lilydale R707 leads 67BW, 82BW, 80BW, 17BE, 25BE, 64AW, BK (or BRS
a/c Stuart), Y127 (detached at Spencer Street).

Return train marshalled so that R766 leads, then R707 and its train,
then R766's train. This enables R766 to be detached at Sunshine,
shunted into the Up Independent Through Track and sit at Signal Post #
707 (irony!). Train is split, R707 and train departs 1945. R766
reattaches and departs 2000.

2 Rs and 15 cars are still *very* impressive!
