Fresh Paint in SA

A bit of fresh paint around Islington in early December.


Technically it has had a fresh repaint, albeit in a multicoloured attack. CHMF 17 was formerly owned by CFCLA and sold to Coleman Rail a few years back.


PQGY 3001, owned by Gemco Rail, only days before going on a high speed trial.


PQGY 3001, CHCH 7602, and 7 Sadleirs vans - all freshly painted. The CHCH was also going on a high speed trail.

3 pairs of newly constructed well wagons and 7 freshly repainted RLSY/RLUY vans

A long string of rebuilt Hamersley ore cars - now coded CHCH for an ore project in WA.
