Dear Readers , All Victorian diesel locomotives built by Clyde Eng are
designed to be gauge convertable.  There is provision for moving the brake
hangers in 3-1/4" on each side.
It is a matter of having the discs(wheels) on the axles pushed in 3-1/4", or
replacing the wheel set with a bg axle with the discs at sg spacing.

regards, Grahame  Seymour Vic.
