Apparently it is waiting on parts for the VC from Clyde, so it looks like another deferred start up date. It may be transferred to Melbourne next week and do a test run to Albury or Junee on MS3 Freightcorp train.

Hi all,

I viewed B80 parked outside WCR's Ballarat workshops last Tuesday 29/2/00, somehow I don't think it will be heading west for a while yet - was sitting on bogies minus traction motors, had no cab fittings, marker lights or number lights, plus lining out was not finished. Still has to be transferred to Melbourne for fitting of SG bogies off GM19 then test run, hopefully to Seymour.

Check out my photo taken from the fuel point deck in a very tight spot surrounded by other rollingstock, including R711.

Further, there's been a hint (RUMOUR) that B80 is or was

supposedly heading across on MA3 tonight, usually a mid a.m.

to early afternoon arrival at the Port Flat. Anything in this one

from our correspondents south of the border?
