I would be surprised if it was a 700. NR do not own them so why would
one be in NRs Steel Yard. The only locos that have been evaluated for
a DOO shunt loco are/were 81 and C class. ASR own the 700s, if one was
in Melbourne it would most likely be at Appleton Dock or maybe South
Dynon Loco or North Dynon Yard.

I am not saying that it wasn't a 700, but I would be surprised.

Just another eccentric crank.
