You're not going to believe this, but there is also a recent photo of X50 on my site, lol! X50 still has "radio equipped" decals on it, so it obviously hasn't been painted for years. The photo was taken at Maryborough on
11/9/99. Unfortunately if you come up with any more dodgy X classes, this and the photo of X46 are the only two photos of this series on my site.

If anyone wants to see X50 click on this link:

and go to the third diesel page, or just follow this direct link to the photo:
