    Yes it is a pity, although they have been up for sale now for a couple of years and I don't think any have been sold.

    I remember when I was in Adelaide and travelling on their version of the underground seeing a large depot of coaches and engines.

    I really hope there is a consortium out there who will be able make some use of these fantastic items and stop them going for scrap.
