Strong rumours from Adelaide that NRC will get the DL's,
that should help them out with a loco than can run above 100
clicks on 47 kg rail. ;-)
Story goes that they are not interested in the EL's.
They were using AN class up here for some time until they
replaced them with NR's, possible NRC buy.?
I would think it would be a buyers market with the surplus
power around and that does not include Victoria.
