422 class future?

[Bob <gioia@fastlink.com.au>]

Yesterday 42204 was sent to Werris Creek dead attached to the Manildra
train. I understand that this unit like others of this class is to
become a donor of wheel sets and traction motors to the similar equipped
81 class. It now seems apparent that Freightcorp will not sell any more
units as complete goers but in fact as stripped or cannibalized units.
With the exception of 42203 and 42220 the remainder of the class will
soon be stripped to provide free parts for the 81 class fleet.
