Re: Hammersley Locomotives

Now, here's a question

There's a large number of road-switcher type loco bodies (not just cabs,
actually went past as a passenger and got to gape this w/end) on a block of
land to the west of Tonkin Hwy (100km/h, hence just a glance before) in
Kenwick, between Kelvin Rd and Welshpool Rd (sorry, they're roads in PERTH).
Colours are mainly green and rust! They look to me like ALCOs (now that
should start some pulses up!). Anyone know about them, or am I on a
photographic assignment.

Maybe Chris French knows?
