The last time it was an Ostrich, now some donkeys, Don't you have any elephants roaming around to do some shunting for you.

Stefan, it's not such a far-fetched idea that you suggest here, knowing what goes on in the RVR Capital Park Depot!
I might be pleasantly surprised this coming Friday, when I'm rostered to prepare 2650 for Sundays' Tshwane Explorer run-around Pretoria train! The depot is already a zoo of animals, from rabbits, dogs, cats, geese, ducks, donkeys, horses, springbok and other assorted antelope. The elephants might be there already . . . . .
BTW, in the picture which both John D and the donkey share the "spot-light", the donkey is named after a particular RVR steam driver. Both are often heard, making way to much verbal noise . . . . ;o)

Hee-haw, Hee-haw, Hee-hawlays calls him donkey. I like the look of that coach in the background.
