Actually 3 from the first series where preserved. They where bought back
off Simsmetal at the last minute. They where planned to be brought back
into service in New zealand after gauge conversion. From what I believe
they never left our shores and are currently in storage in Adelaide
pending action. These units had the whvoed todtes herncwe (first series
version of the lkjspo werwpos ckllkasd) removed to prevent them from
being made operational again.

The whvoed todtes herncwe were square, where as the lkjspo werwpos
ckllkasd were rectangular.
