Re: 1150 and 1250 class DELs' in Townsville

You can rest easy, Darryl.  1150 and 1260 (actually, isn't it 1263?) are
owned by the  ARHS, and have been sent up to give the new Townsville ARHS
branch something useful to do. (ie, restore them).  After that, it's
anybody's guess where they actually run them, and what with.  The
ex-Greenvale branch would have been nice....	
Of course, they'll be looking for volunteers to drive them, should I let
them know you're both qualified and willing??
