Re: Daydreaming - steam-powered speed record

["David Martin" <d_martin@mountains.net.au>]

Having started with the assumption that this is financed by winning the
Powerball jackpot, let us also assume that either:
    We have a loco which can be modified without anyone objecting or
    We a going to build a new steam locomotive, which has to be visually and
audibly recognisable as a steam loco.

Remember, the run is to be from Sydney to Lithgow.
