Re: Q class for Freight Australia!

It could be said that the Q class is basically what Clyde was offering NRC as the
NR class. It has electronic injection and uses the 70 series control system
(EM2000 computer) with the ICE package. The control system makes it more powerful
that what a repowered G will ever be.
