Aren't there still GMs around Brisbane? The 1400/1450/1460 have a 12-567C,
the 1502/1550/2400 have a 12-645E, and the 2100 has a 16-645E, but I always
thought they sounded different to NSW GMs, maybe different mufflers. I
know a lot of the earlier QR classes have been withdrawn but aren't the
later ones still running?

Any opinions are all my own work.
