Wrong Again

ECMT has again steeped up and proved me wrong (its like I'm at home with my wife). The second NZ120 local rag cover was October 2001 with this shot( heads up to www.kiwibonds.com, one of the best train photo sites on the net. The latest 1980 stuff is fantastic). This is a far better shot than last weeks. Makes me wonder just what Brian was on that night....


On a different note, the brains trust discussions have been meandering over the last couple of days, and the question now is,; can a layout be designed that's air portable (and I don't mean delivered COD out the back of an RNZAF Herc. For one thing they are not that reliable, and the lead time to get them is quite long).
the AirNZ website stipulates a luggage size limit of 25Kg, and combined dimensions of 158cm/62". A second piece this size is $15 extra and a 3rd piece $50.
So here's a challenge then; design a layout that fits these dimensions. I'd offer a prize, but due to funding issues(like none) this won't happen. Maybe I should get sponsored by someone. A brewery would be good. I should approach Emmersons (Richard is a train geek as well as being an excellent brewer)
