Impressive engines, but with 7-8 cars being pulled (or a string if "empties") a couple of guys on 100cc motorbikes could handle it. Nobody making money on these loads. Pretty country, Australia is the most incredible place not many people know about. Forget you read that part and don't tell anybody.
They had a couple on long term lease from CFCLA which were painted in the FA livery which the locos retained for a while once the lease ended and other operators had access to them.
Great stuff, Bevan.
