Evening all,
Have obtained a copy of current allotments as at 25/02/2000.

I won't go thru the whole list here as it will take up too much time & 
space, but there are a few interesting items;

Listed as being at Maintrain Auburn for cab upgrade- 48121,48152,48160. I 
hope they throw some paint at 48152 as last I saw it the yellow undercoat 
from years ago was showing thru what was left of the blue.

Listed as "on lease to RSA" 4850 & 4865

Listed as Melbourne runners (my terminology) : 8212-8216. Interestingly, 
8216 has been working the Tahmoor push/pull coalies since wednesday 23/2.

Listed as Stored Lithgow : 4842. This unit was previously Lithgow yard 
shunter, but I am told that it has been relieved of its traction motors and 
electrical cabinet to repair fire damaged 48110, so 4842 will probably not 
be restored to traffic or preserved as was the plan. A pity, because it 
still has a reasonably good paint job and was the only 48 class I have had a 
cab ride in (Christmas Day 1997 from memory).

Listed at RSA Chullora: 4868 (PL3)& 4870 (PL4). Confirmed now, Brad!

Otherwise allotments do not appear to have changed from previous listing 
late December 1999.

Whilst posting this message I managed to miss the the 82 class squeak past 
on 2138. Can anyone assist with unit number, please?

Hope this is of interest.

Regards
Ivar
