Interesting, the logbook in FP-12 must have been an older one, I just
assumed that it was its final logbook, or mabye it was Dec '85, it's
been about 6 months since I saw it :)

I'd be interested to know why the railways stripped 12 and not 11, 12
being considerably more modern. FP-7 is also a possible goer, it is in
the Goulburn Roundhouse, needs an overhaul but is basically ok. FP-12
is without an engine, transmission and most of its electrical cabinet,
and FP-10 has an engine, no transmission, but is missing some control
gear.

I've heard FP-8 runs, does anyone know the status of FP-9 and FP-13 at
Dorrigo?
