And I better include a shot of the train!

Enjoy!

Containers from 26/08/2011

A few containers from a late running MB4 on 26/08/2011.

Two Bitutainer. 

engcon container - They have something to do with heavy machinery. 

Looks to be a former Royal Wolf container, now marked for FCL. 

QRX transiflat with reo rod.  The container is a former Cronos lease container. 

QRX painted transiflat. 

Not on MB4 but on NY3 was tilt bed RKVY with a rather small plate on the front of the tilt bed. 

Enjoy

PN Grain

A PN job - 9329 Nowra to Temora passing through Aylmerton last week.

81/X/X combo. 

Portrait of X52.

The following wagons selection has been picked for the exceptionally nice weathering.

Mittagong 25/08/2011

A lovely afternoon parade at Mittagong last week.

A nice combo on NY3, including NR62 with side logo. 

Trio of clean 'star' NRs. 

A pair of ealy LDPs in EDI livery, and very clean 6001. 

I haven't seen these on the east coast before - a 48ft SCFU RAIL CONTAINERS container.  Note the dat panel with 3.0m in normal and mirrored text.   

The other end of a container.  Some are marked for SCFU and others for TSPD (Toll). 

Enjoy!

Bendigo 24/08/2011

A few photos from around Bendigo on 24/08/2011

Centre well from what I believe is RQLY 1011.  The centre well from VQWW/RQVY1 was installed as a replacement into QQLY 1011.

B64 

GM12 

RQUY platforms awaiting refurbishment. 

Repaired Dunolly victim, VHHF 832. 

VOFX 10.  This wagon also has 108 on the databoard - recoded from 108 to 10 after a modification - maybe? 

 A VPFX in FA green.  I wonder if this ever operated in this colour scheme?

ZZMA 123

Enjoy!

Melbourne - 23/08/2011

A few shots from around Melbourne on 23/08/2011

What once was a nice paint job has been butchered by PN.  8114 in a average patch job. 

Cartainer AB062.  I haven't been following these too closely, but this looks to be from a second batch as it hasn't faded as much as the one on the left.  The one to the right is AB050.  I recall the first build of AB container may have been 1-36 or around that figure.   

AFGF 1627 ready for BG operation with POTA.  This was was built by Wiles in 1961. 

SG V/Line pass job. 

The CQCY wagons are being converted to BG operations for Metro spoil work.   

A favourite of mine - PCJ 493 - former West Coast PCO2. 

Decked VLCX 38 - making a good shed. 

Steamrail painted VOBX 244.  For the number crunchers, be aware that this is not originally ELX 244. 

 VOBX 289 - I believe the owner may be El Zorro.

VPFX 16, still in reasonable condition.

Enjoy!
