<<<<<<<When trams were put into the Henderson factory, which was eventually
earmarked for demolition, we were all expecting a "mysterious" fire a la
Brisbane City Council. I don't think the PTC is above that sort of thing.
Lang Lang station "mysteriously" burnt down after an preservation lease
application was lodged by SGR.>>>>>>>>

Got any facts to back up these wild allegations? I know youu guys are lliving
under Herr Kennetts regime but a Reichstag fire?

<<<<<<<I think it is rather sad that the PTC has such a poor reputation when it
comes to
a) rail fans
b) heritage / preservation>>>>>>>>>

What on earth are you talking about? Name one other railway anywhere that has
been so accomodating to fans/preservation and fantrips? Who else runs steam on
regular services just so the fans can have qualified drivers for their fan
trips? You should get out and see the world and reaslise how hard it is for
most fans around the world.
