Former CFCLA KL80 has emerged from the Goulburn paintshop with a new owner and new identity.
It is seen at Aylmerton and Bargo on the delivery run to Sydney on 6 July 2011.
To finish off, a little bit of trivia; KL80 was numbered as such, after the Australian Customs Bay Class ACV 80 patrol boat - which could be seen from the former CFCLA Head Office.

So who's the new owner then?
ReplyDeleteReally sharp--I've not seen a loco yet that doesn't look good in this scheme. And first class that Goulburn didn't chop the high nose or mess with the deep valance. I understand all the CFCLA KL's and remaining 442's have been sold to SSR. Is SSR purchasing any of the LVR 47's?
ReplyDeleteI remember when the scheme was first revealed (I think on GM22 in Jan 2004) a lot of people were critical of it. I think it has 'grown' on a lot of people. I always like that it, because it broke to mould of symetrical liveries.
ReplyDeleteI believe you are correct re the KLs and 442s. Negative on the 47s I believe.

ReplyDeleteHi,
I Like the SSR's Colours. Looks Sharp etc. Looks Like a Railroad That if It Had a Chance,
Could Go Places.
Tnx,
Operater.
SSR has had a few chances and is going places. You don't read ARI or MP?
ReplyDeleteNot hauling containers around usually equals success in this game.
