Re: The Banana Express 7 *LINK*

I expect they'll be sold - though how one would go about buying one I don't know. The owner of the Texas Garratt is a very private individual which is his right - too many railfans think they have the right to trample over private property - so I don't see him inviting the press to publicise his operation. I cannot see any more coming to the UK - though logic doesn't enter into these decisions, there are 9 NG/G 13s/16s here already...... There were 40 (off the top of my head) of these built and only one has been scrapped - after a roll over which killed the fireman about 1982. See my website for more info about how many survive - Link at the bottom of this response.
