This is on 1067 mm, David. Not bad at all. The tilt train is easily
capable of 200 - I guess they'll give it a go after the next round of
main-north upgrades.

Apropos of nothing, I've noticed that the old paper siding's structures
(at Park Road) are finally being removed - actually, it seems like it's
being carefully dismantled. Maybe the material is being sold?
