    I'm just back in Geelong after a week in Newcastle. Yesterday I drove 
from Sydney to Geelong via Kembla and Moss Vale to see 3830. The old girl 
looks rather strange with only the tender and the very front of the loco 
painted in the final colours (smoke box door black, headlight green). The 
rest of the loco (bioler, valences,cab, etc are in undercoat. It was lovely 
to see and hear 3830 back in action.
