Yes I know. A few Tangaras were not accepted by State Rail because of flaws in
the milling. Thats why a few don't have running numbers. I think set T 22
6109/6112 isan example but don't take it as gosple.

I should of been more specific, Please insert " the stainless steel  as used in
the other sydney trains." instead of  "the use of stainless steel"
