Good news. Unless something goes very wrong in the next few hours,
8027 & 42220 (Both in tuscan paint scheme) will work theoil train to
Canberra tonight, returning tomorrow afternoon. This rare coupling of
the only two tuscan locos still in service has taken considerable time
and the cooperation of FreightCorp personnel (which is greatly
appreciated)to organise and has been done to enable some good quality
footage of locos in this colour scheme to be shot before it is too
late (both locos were even given a wash this afternoon), so I have a
favour to ask. I recently had some sequences of a rare working that I
posted advance warning of ruined by photographers who turned up only
seconds before the train and ran in front of my location, so if you or
anyone that you pass this information on to happen to notice a red VW
Transporter parked in the vicinity of a location that you have arrived
at to take photos please keep in mind that I will be closeby with a
powerful zoom on the video camera possibly already recording the
train's approach.
