I followed it extensively when it was here in OZ in 88 /89 and eventually rode the showcase trip from Melbourne to Alice Springs, which took about 7 days. One thing that stands out is just how small British steam locomotives are, even in comparison to ours with the same wheel arrangement.

Might have a look for nostalgic reasons, just a pity the bottom has fallen out of the dollar (thanks US) but it does look the business in the BR livery with the lifters.

Thanks for the info

!*cheers*!

Thanks. Steam seems to hold its prices with the fluctuating dollar.
