Here is SteamRangers current project, - Redhen Railcar 364 undergoing the early stages of restoration to service. 364 hasn't run since the mid 1990's. But is getting the full treatment in the SteamRanger workshops at Mt Barker at present. They currently run one Red Hen set at Victor Harbor but I am not sure where this one is going to run once the restoration is completed.

Yep, doors open with the hot summer breeze blowing* through the doors on the Grange line to get to the beach.

The dirty smell of the fuel was priceless.

That's what I immediately thought of, LM.
Jumping out at your station as the train was still moving.

In your dreams, LM, in your dreams.
I do know Gawler High students used to pelt eggs at us though.
There was one dude who used to get on at Kudla who we labelled the Italian Stallion.
He and his mates would get on the train and grunt and scratch their armpits and try and intimidate us.
Hilarious.

I see that the restoration has included authentic replica graffiti tags. Gotta love that attention to detail!
