The computer's back up again as of last night, so I've taken my photo
of A81 located at 
http://www.railpage.org.au/steam4me/images/diesel/cabs/fv_a81.jpg

and "painted" the anticlimber gold.  I think this vastly improves the
front end of the loco no end, adding definition to the whole bulldog
nose (and is closer to the VR gold colour scheme, still the most
elegant colour scheme ever applied to a diesel in Australia).

The Paintshopped loco is at

Also a couple of photos of the R700 transfer:
3 Ts and R700 at Navigators,

and R700, R711, R766 side by side at WCR's Ballarat East Depot.

I've checked the URLs so they *are* correct this time!
