Some confusion here.
The 421s didnt exist until Dec 1965,so if you have a photo of one in the 50s 
then you must own a time machine.
Its certainly possible that 42s got to Brisbane but thats not what the 
original post was about .
The 44s took over this line from when they were introduced in 1957,so at the 
best there would have only been a period of 2 years when 42s could have been 
used.
