The Blue and Yellow 'Explorer' liveried 961 is still around.
It is, as you probably know, the only 930 left.
During April.98, it was sitting near MPC (Dry Creek), stored, but
serviceable.  It is with other GM's and 830 which can be used during Loco
shortages with ASR.  It is on Standard Guage.
It unfortunately was not running when I was in Adelaide in April.
