Last run - for a while.
My poor old broad gauge M19 is back in the shed, and will probably be there for quite a while.
Nothings wrong with it - it ran like a rocket when I took it to Wallaroo a few weeks ago.
Its more that I won't be able to run it. I am now working in the Rail Regulators Office as a Rail Safety Officer, and so to be out on track with my section car, in SA anyway, may create conflict of interest.
So, with some discussions, I offered to assist YPR with track inspections. And on the 4th of December, Lynda, myself and Glen Burow set out to check the track. I am accredited as an operator with YPR, and hold a certificate of fitness under the old system.
We didn't hit any cows - I don't like stew at the best of times, but we did run over two blueys. Both sunning themselves on the railhead.
So, for this poor old girl, and the rest of the fleet, looks like its a rest in the shed!
