Yes it seems a very appropriate train for Countrylink services.  Have a look
at the seats, you could really get comfortable in them for the little
journey between Sydney and Melbourne.  No doubt they'll be allocated to the
overnight services, so Countrylink will provide complimentary pillows.

I like the track too, light weight and doesn't require sleepers that
termites can chomp through.  It's just a larger version of the O gauge track
my Hornby clockwork train used to run on.

No fuel bills, and environmentally friendly.  What more could one ask?

Now we only have to wait development of the solar freight locomotive, I'm
sure Freightcorpse will be the first customer.
