    Guys, please show our increased simpathy to the ZigZag Railway in the New South Wales mountains. They have been closed for a while now whilst their infrastructure and operation management is being brought up to the correct standards, but if that was not enough the current bush fires have destroyed several of their wooden bodies coaches and burned their machine shop.

    From the reports see the above. Sad to hear about the loss though glad people who were there managed to get out.

    Very bad news - I enjoyed a ride on the line in 2009 and this is very sad when they were getting back on their feet.

    Will the heat have caused damage to the loco and the carriage chassis as well?
    Terrible :(
