How much HP does FA need

[Richard <richard_snook@primus.com.au>]

Much hypothesising about FA's siutation of late..as well as what locos are
around to sate their requireements.

For those who know to those of us curious...how much HP is needed by FA to
facilitate their upcoming (yet to be initated) contracts (won tenders etc) as
well as those jobs that FA are eyeing off but yet to consumate.

Seems a pity they passed up the 422's as being GM boxes they would have
slotted wel into the GM regime that is FA.

If FA won the WestRail race..would the winfall of the L's (as carcasses for
rebuilding) be sufficinet for their needs elsewhere??
