Hi Nic

I recall when the NT's were delivered way back in 1965
that it was reported they were similar to the Nigerian
Sulzers, but I only ever viewed one obscure photo.

BTW..... have you noticed that AN's EL class have a
very melodious Horn which sounds just like the old NT's
under certain conditions. Only problem is the EL horns
do not seem to stay in tune very long.
I wonder if Goninan got it right on the NR's.!

Cheers
