AL21 in the Dorrigo collection?

I have heard from a close friend that AL21 has now joined the Dorrigo
collection. Is this true?

I assume you mean AL21 rebuilt as ALF18?

Yes, a assive amount of stuff is continually restored.

Does
any of the equipment actually run?>>>>

Yes it does, at least the diesels for the moment.

Is there any railway track available to
run anything on>>>>

Just the yard. There are way to many other priorities at the moment
but the line will be reopened.

or is the whole line still booked out of use>>>>

Awaits restoration. Booked out or not the first tree will bring a
train to a h

and disconnected from the North Coast line (not NOT the main north
line - that
runs to Wallan-garra from Newcastle) at Glenreagh? >>>>

I believe so, but then they don't have ownership of that end of the
line do they?

Thanks

NO. It appears that AL21 was purchased by a private individual
interested in electric trains. The only problem is that the vehicle
was NOT for sale, but was "sold" by an individual within RailCorp
charged with clearing the Down Yard at Clyde in preparation for the
new PPP Carriage Maintenance Centre. As at today, the matter has not
been resolved and the vehicle is still sitting on a semi-trailer in
the Clyde Down Yard!
