Wouldn't it be more constructive for you, Trevor, to provide an
assessment of just what condition the various Dorrigo locos ARE actually
in?

The name-calling and unconstructive debate [along the lines of "tell me
which ones are bad" followed by "they're all bad" followed by "you
haven't said which ones are bad"] is (a) a vicious circle (b) doomed to
create antagonism. One thing which is amply apparent is that there IS a
lot of antagonism about the Dorrigo set-up, and the constructive way to
deal with that is with facts, not by encouraging an exchange of
ignorance.
