G'day all,

Would there be any XPT `power cars'/locos available with their ultra-tight
scheduling and the additional strain of impending engine changeovers?

Maybe that very situation (above) could end up being the catalyst for some
extraneous uses for XPT `power cars'/locos, particularly if they had to
split up  sets for engine changeover reasons.

I like the Comet idea though Tim...   In silver, of course!

See Ya    AH
