Don't worry to much about it.  Any neutral observer can't help but
notice that Trevor's "challenges" always seem to be cast in such a way
that it is impossible to answer them definitively, so he can then say
that you haven't addressed the question if you attempt to answer them
at all.

If you are not a DRSM member you can't get close enough to any of the
locomotive to tell what the current condition really is... then you'd
also have to be 100% correct about what the condition it was is when
DRSM received it etc etc.

So all the rest of us are left with are this vista of rusting
locomotives and rolling stock, plus the likes of Trevor who verbally
beats up on anyone who dares even raise the issue of the condition of
the DRSM collection in aus.rail.
