RNV December 1999 p32 reported that X51 had recieved a lowered nose as well as a
toilet at Ballarat workshops. Me and my dad saw the loco (and photographed it)
near Beveridge last week while chasing photographing the NSWRTM charter. I am
assuming that the train is the up Tocumwal. It passed us shortly before 1600 on
Monday 31/1/2000. It clearly doesn't have a lowered nose but I was too busy
taking a photo to see if it has a toilet on the end. From the two photos I can't
see any sign of the modifications described by RNV about the toilet. Does anyone
have futher info?

Here are the photos my dad took if anyone is interested:
