Return of the K&S Curtain

The red and white K&S curtain is synonymous with the National Rail era however in the past decade (or longer) they have been few and far between.  

There are a few kicking around, interestingly most are fresh curtains fitted to older Royal Wolf bodies.  

Photoed during July 2024 below is RWTU 903018-8 heading from Perth to Sydney.


Enjoy!

PERR SCFU Curtains

Have noticed a few SCF 48ft curtain siders kicking around on Aurizon TGE services with PERR markings over the SCFU markings.  

Here are PERR 823168-8 and 823173-3.

Former CSL box now Royal Wolf

SLZU 740004-0 is now RWLU 740004-0 with a simple paint out and a HIRE ME sticker added.  

The first run of the 740000 series CSL boxes date back to 2015, with several batches coming out over the years including a large batch (~200) marked as Strait Link (SLFD) appearing in early 2023.  

Now marked for Royal Wolf, 740004 some 10 years old.

As a comparable shot, this is SLZU 740001 sighted in 2023.

Here is SLZU 700069 from back in 2015 when it was fresh.

Enjoy!
