English Electric ex Westrail DE class R

["Donald R Smith" <drsmith@iinet.net.au>]

R1902 has been for some time a static display at Cohuna, a tourist park
halfway up the Darling Scarp at Gosnells, WA.
It has now been privately purchased and will be leased to Hotham Valley
Tourist Railway.
The unit will operate out of Pinjarra.
It should be resident at Pinjarra in time for the forthcoming Steamfest.
Details of it's removal from the park and placement on rail may be available
in a later post.
This acquisition will become an update to my HVR pages.  Meanwhile you may
see photos of an R class in John Richard's excellent pages at;
