Thanks Mike
Don't know where those pictures came from . Found them on net
Stowage diagram sounds like a good start

Thanks Keith
Driver must of had confidence in brakes. He wasn't giving much of a gap to the runners

Thats a neat piece of detective work.

Its Melbourne and the sun is shining .

In that movie, the scenes of the MCG reveal army signallers doing their stuff on the track perimeter
