No, PN has nothing to do with them. Even the guys at RTS didn't know where they were going but it's not PN. I suspect they started out in CFCLA colours and were modified.
Bhanu Kirkman This was a while back and the particular company has gone bankrupt. Nine of the ten locos operate pretty much permanently in NSW with SSR or QUBE. The other unit is under the control of a preservation group.
cant wait to get my hands on the controls of this pair! will be interesting to see what sort of a job they have done on them, and also C505
Geez, Rod spoils us rotten. Thanks for another superb loco fest!
My girlfriend is like you. She always says don't put your horn on my nose :-)
I would have to say that the camera has an 'ordinary' mike but it's not too loud in the cab, in fact as cabs go the C's were always reasonably quiet.
Thanks Rod!
I’d love to spend a day in there,my definition of having fun.
Is that shed gemco
Good vids, used to work for RTS. they seem pretty flat out these days.
OOOhhhhh! Oooooh!!!!!!!
Thanks man. This is special, I love that big turbo whistle. Call me a weird, but I still think the As and Ns sound better! :-(
Will be somewhat of an improvement on a 442 although those old girls are still a nice quiet ride compared to similar aged EMD's

Not sure where else you'd put them, on the roof they'd get ripped off by bridges, under the pilot and they'll get filled with crud in 3 weeks
