No, X47-X49 did run together a few months ago on Geelong - Nth East grain
trains. There were reports of these workings on Ausloco.

This train was a late running up Tocumwal. It passed me at Kilmore East just
after 17.00.

Did you also notice that sexy beast (A60) at the back of the workshops with
sun all over it. It stood me up, I thought i'd take pot-luck and go to
Kilmore East hoping it would be on one of the to local Seymour passengers,
but only got A60 and a N class.

Can somebody swap the tins of paint back to orange and grey while Marinus is
not looking, At least then we can photograph his operations in any weather
condition, instead of this 1950's livery. Who said that Time Machines don't
exist, FV just invented one with its livery. Are they going to purchase a
fleet of model T fords as fleet cars as well. At least the trucking industry
has got the right idea.
