To put an end to this discussion on the equidistant/asymmetric bogies on
the NSWGR 40 class diesel electrics, my original belief that the 40
class was a stock standard American RSD4/5 was wrong. It was, in fact, a
stock standard RSC3! The RSD4/5s had the asymmetric Co-Co bogies: the
RSC3 had the equidistant A-1-A. So that's the answer.
Yes, I am currently eating crow for not knowing something which is in
print in the latest Eveleigh press book "Green Diesels".
I really expected to have been picked up on it by now. Sorry, guys.
