Danny & I were discussing the previous posting as to 3 X T class being 
converted to standard gauge to work in NSW. We could not fathom why the 3 
standard gauge H's could not be used instead. I was aware that the H's were 
heavier, but by how much?
Perhaps this is why they would be unsuitable to work in NSW.
Also, do how do they do conversion to Standard Gauge? Is it a bogie swap 
with one of the H's, or does FV have spare bogies with standard gauge wheel 
sets already?
