Ex-Westrail D class rebuilds for Tasrail

Hello

I'm wondering if there are any photos or plans yet from our NZ cousins of 
the rebuilt ex-Westrail D1565, which Tranz Rail commenced rebuilding for 
Tasrail in July.  Tasmanian Rail News reports that the unit is to get a cab 
and short hood as seen on Tasrail 2101- the ZR rebuild.

I'm particularly interested in how the ZR cab/nose will be accommodated, if 
the current dynamic brake, with its 48" fan, is relocated from the short 
hood to the long hood. It looks as though space will be tight.

Cheers

Ben
