Thanks for the calls guy but it was not me involved in the collision between a Ferret and train on the weekend. My thoughts go out to those involved and hope for a positive outcome and full recovery.

Quote from "The West Australian" newspaper,

"War vehicle, train collide.

A World War II armoured scour car vehicle crashed into a freight train
travelling at 100km/h in the Wheatbelt yesterday afternoon, blocking
the line for several hours and causing delays to rail services.
The 47 year old driver of the wartime vehicle suffered serious injuries
when he tried to cross the railway line at Walgoolan, 20 km east of
Merriedin, at 3.30pm.
The 1.5km long freight train knocked the armoured vehicle off the railway
line and into a culvert 5m away. The line was cleared by 8pm.
The train driver was unhurt."

G'day All, In another forum it was posted and ?? maybe presumed that the person involved was a member of that forum and if so, also a member in this forum as well, I won't divulge the person's name just in case it isn't him, in any case I hope that he comes through OK cheers Dennis

If it might be P., I would like to know how he is. Can someone let me know please.

Someone has already indicated (on the other site that Dinty to which referred), that it wasn't Phill, but Ross W.
