The narrow guage unit is certainly not an "ex" CK, it's still the same
CK1 that it's been since in AN/ASR service. Now being owned by ASR,
we'll expect to see another livery on this class! So far we have: VR,
V/Line, GNR, AN, Freight Vic, Freight Aus and soon to be ASR. IMHO,
these locos are certainly far from detestable. If there was something
that almost everyone detested in the diesel loco range, it would be the
W class. I don't know where you get the idea of "taste" (: They're
certainly more tasteful than that lime green Kermit 190 that you have
sitting there in the Steamrail depot (-;
