My brother sent me this link from Australia, about streamlined locomotive 3801 leading excursions in the Sydney area:

Interesting comment that another train hit the last carriage of a train pulled by this locomotive and that resulted in a ban on steam excursions. Some how steam was to blame for the accident? Guess I don't have all the facts so it would be wrong to jump to a conclusion but ...
Byrdie,
I'm just learning about this loco myself. Here's a little bit of info on the accident.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowan_rail_accident
Some of the info - the train with 3801 stalled on a grade, about 50 meters after clearing a tunnel; sand applied may have interfered with signaling (insulating train from rails), giving following train a false green.

Wonderful !!! What material did you use for the tablecloths?
