At DownsSteam work restoration work has started. The cooling system and its canopy have been removed form the short end and the diesel engine has been removed from the long end along with most of the bodywork. The bogies have been removed and the loco is on stands. Also see PiP. November 2024

You can safely say "some work needed to return to working order" !

I wish the restoration project workers all the best !

You understate things so well Sarah. Much steel to replace, not to mention air gear, electrical gear, cooling gear and engine.

You need deep pockets for a job like that! Best of luck!

Not to mention volunteers with a wide range of skills. My relevant ones are in wiring.

Yes, this type does seem to serve heritage rail well. In addition to being Australian designed and manufactured though using an imported engine and cooling system.

Hi Graham
A wonderful and interesting set of picture, which I like very much!
Very nice to see restoration, but I do wonder the point at which it becomes easier to bulld new..
We have one locomotive running in Wales which was a total new build, except for the reversing lever from the original, hence a 'restoration project'! (Strangely, I don't have a pic here)
Best Wishes, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!
