    Bit of a pity we never see any good old locos on grainies anymore, just the modern (& somewhat boring) FQ's, gwa's & gwu's :-(
    Blame the drop in the iron ore price Rhys, all those loco's bought to cater for Ore trains, now relegated to pulling boring old graffiti covered grain hoppers!

    It is a shame we did not get the cameras in earlier to capture some of the old locos.  I have been going through my stock of 5 years of Bunbury Street and there is plenty of old action there.

    I guess we can't hope to achieve everything we want to do in the timeframe we want to.
