Would the VR T / AN CK and the SAR 830 be the only loco classes which have
operated on three gauges in Australia? I'm excluding "exported" conversions
such as metre gauge DHs, and delivery runs on unpowered bogies.

Interesting to recall also that CK1 isn't the first T class on 3'6" gauge -
T413 started life on the Fyansford cement line of that gauge before being
bought by the VR.

Cheers,
Peter
