A78 is currently at Ballarat East for repaint.  Bit of a surprise really, 78's paint was *excellent*, I reckon it was the second last loco repainted orange (I think X49 would have been the last one, when it was converted to DOO).
78 appeared on our pass a few times, it always looked great.  There are plenty of rusty hulks which could have used some paint before this loco - especially the S class :)

N455 must be fresh VLP paint too, you can still smell it....

Cheers,
CH.
