  My posting said train order not train radio testing. I thought that 42203
and 42220 were Freightcorp on hire to Countrylink not National Rail. Yes
15/18 and 19 are used by NRC as shunters. Please read previous posting by
Tim Arnot this afternoon where he says that he saw 42207 at Lithgow
yesterday. My info was at last weekend and not conected with the previous
radio tests.
