Re: NRC Radio testing.

["Roderick Smith" <rodsmith@werple.net.au>]

Pseudonymous Tell asked about the radio-testing post.
BS1 was a Spirit of Progress carriage (steel, blue, eight compartments). 
It was modified in later life to have a buffet section (hence the code
BRS), with only six compartments.  It was fitted with its own
diesel-alternator, which made it a good choice for use as a radio-testing
vehicle.

Paul saw it in WA: when?  Did it go to Esperance and Leonora too?
