I had hoped to be able to write a page for each of the locomotives used during the tour. However I have had to put this on hold for now as more pressing matters need attending to first. So below are links to the pages as so far written. I hope to revisit them in the coming months. I think a good online history of 231G558 in English is really needed and I hope to provide it here eventually.
