    Thanks for the re-direction - I hadn't realised this was a 4TC tour. What a disastrous cock-up - is there no sort of checklist for this stuff?! No matter how many rules are put in place for railway operation, there seems to be no limit to the ways people can still cause problems! I think this is also an issue where such a light load is handled by a powerful loco, making the problem less obvious.
