<<<<<<<When I was a NSWman we called 'em Mark 3 X's just the same as 48's
which came in 4 versions - marks 1 ,2,3,and 4. (Of course mark2 X's
were really cheap versions of 422's in a 45 type body ;-)).>>>>>>>

Give me a 2nd series X any day, at least 10dba quiter than those nasty 422's
and if you were unlucky enough to get the toilet end, PHEW!!!!

I did too many trips on your beloved 422's on the ICD facing directly into the
setting sun to ever become enamoured of them!

Mark II X indeed!

Mark.
