Another AFF BAM trip [Dec. 5th]

[prozac]

Thank you very much Matt
OK... so i will hang around platform 9 3/4 on Saturday the 5th of December at noon-ish, and hopefully a great day out to the Central Coast will follow.
and what shall i bring apart from enough dosh to pay for liquid and solid refreshments?
I'm really looking forward to this.
PS i wont be wearing my medieval helmet so you may not initially recognize me

Maybe just dosh...not sure.

I thought that must have been your rubber mask and I was going to suggest mrsprozac pack the ECP (electric cattle prodder) to keep you calm throughout the trip.

Quick update.

Everything going to plan and BAM being cleaned up today and loaded with some beers, people are welcome to bring their preferred beveridge of choice. The BAMs should be parked at Central from about 10.15am but of course subject to train control.

Just beers. Matt should I bring wine for mrs prozac or is this also available onboard?

Some wine available, but perhaps if there is something specific bring a bottle.

Apologies but I won't be able to make it. Still have sore throat and ribs.

Hope you all have a great time.

I'm off out of the office now, but all welcome.

I'll check back here later tonight if any last minute questions.

Cameras packed, leaving home around 9am, should be in Sydney around 11-11:30 pending traffic.

The empty BAMs are just approaching Campbelltown now and will arrive about 10.15am into Central, then shunting and general stuffing around.

The loco is coming over from Eveleigh about half an hour before we depart.

We are driving past the Gosford exit on freeway...

The BAMs heading into Sydney this morning.

Have a great day everybody. I am so sad that I have to work, I've been on several BAM trips previously and loved them. Hopefully more to follow.

I'll travel vicariously through your reports and photos.

 

[CaptJCool]

Beautiful, simply beautiful ...... have a great trip; really wish I could have joined you, but will be riding behind steam (hopefully a Big Boy or maybe a D&RGW K37) this afternoon. Keep the photos coming.

You're a generous man, thank you BAM
