They were supposed to head back north around that time. The 42 does sound a bit
deeper and louder than a VR S or CR GM. The 442 would have been leading. Here
are two sound recordings of 4201's and 44211's horns when they were down here
for the Tamworth charter in January. Both recordings are about 60kb:
