There is a further problem as X101 subsequently swapped numbers with an X200 class, X212 from memory.   Thus
the unit now carrying the road number X101 is actually a 260 hp unit, whilst the unit carrying the X212 road
number is a 51 hp unit.   The original X101 (now 212 is still owned by State Rail, whilst the current X101
(ex 212) is owned by Freight Corp.   Confused?????
