G'day Chris,

NR53 is the NR you saw the other day. NR30 is currently being painted in an
indigenous colour scheme at Chullora, should be "on the road" within two
weeks (it's very different), should have the purists crying in their "earl
grey".
There are also NR's being painted in "Seatrain" and "Steelink" colour
schemes, predominately blue and black respectively, along with the
"Trailerail" loco already released. The loco numbers and at what stage the
painting of these locos is at, I am not sure of at this stage.

Gary Marshall.
