There is an opportunity this weekend for two of these engines to be
sampled anywhere along the line between Melbourne and Tamworth as the
RTM takes a charter to the country music festival.

The train is being built up with some cars from the ARHS ACT (as has
been done a few times past) for a total of 15 to 16 carriages.

For those of you of the GM persuasion there may be a 567C to look out
for as well.

Probably Chullora Workshops...

It's still there- on occasion this engine has donated parts to 4306 as
well.
