Re: [Ausloco] RE: T413

Evening all,

Actually John is right.  Some of the final T class were delivered from
Clyde, Sydney, with numbering continuing on from the so-called last T
class - T412.  I know that the next two locos delivered were numbered T413 &
T414 and ran to Melbourne with such numbering.  In Melbourne they were
renumbered H1, H2, etc.   So the 'first' T413 was actually a low-nose model,
built in 1968.  Graham is also correct in that the current or 'second' T413
was the 1956 'flat-top' T class delivered to Australian Portland Cement and
eventually sold to VR.

Regards,

Mark
