Oooops.

Yeah, was thinking of the 90 class, have no idea how that happened, 0 is
nowhere near the 1 on the keyboard.

Where interstate? They are really not strong enough for the Pilbara, and
their gearing is all wrong for high speed running. Is there anywhere else
that needs locos like this?

I suppose they could upgrade the Mountains line and the Sillywarra, and use
them on west/south coalies.
