Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

A driver-less train loaded with cement had to be deliberately derailed in Devonport today.

They had lost control of it so they redirected it to a siding with derailing gear.
An exciting 15 minutes in the Tasrail control room.

We've enough work of our own at the moment BTW.
