Listen to that engine, It's such a unique sound. The horn doesn't sound that well at the moment

Was 958 an ex 44 from NSWGR or was it a separate order , and same question for 844 ?
Love the paint schemes on both Alco's !

[@Aussie_Transport5371]

The 44/930s are the same model except not all have the double ended cab on the 930s (Some can only be driven at the streamlined end) same goes for the 830s/48s same model except they cab be driven ether way not like some 930s

[@DavidDTrains]

nice movie!

[@philiphickman5085]

Does the 830 class have bigger wheels than the 930 class. Or am I just imagining it because of fresh paint ?

[@TimsTrains]

Not sure mate, maybe have a look at their Wikipedia pages and you may get your answer.

[@NSWGR]

Both have standard 40 inch diameter wheels
