Loco problems put it in the siding at Gisbourne, was there as of 15:35 today. Apparently it took some 90 minutes to get from Sunbury to Gizzy (usual time 20 minutes) after one of the locos (probably the S) failed.

I could call Sunbury what it should be called, but I'll refrain just this once... 
Anyway, just to rub it in, does anyone have a rough time for when it passed Sydenham at all? No doubt it was juts before or just after I left work...

S303 and T342 look really good together on a train. Hopefully more people will be able to get a few pics while they are working up there. T342 leading S303 will be a good shot also i rekon.

S313 is sitting in the SSR workshops sidings at Bendigo not sure when it is going to back, but i'd be guessing tonight, unless it's for the ballast train on the Echuca line.

Not the best light at that time of the morning! |
Like the photos, anyway, I did see S303-T342 going slow when the ballast train passed through St Albans earlier in the week. And can I ask, was S303 replaced by a different loco when it failed?
