To the above and previous postings today, thank you for the almost unaminous
vote of appreciation. 3801 will remain black for a while. When the
facilities to apply a first grade paint job at Eveleigh return in a few
weeks and there is a long enough break in the busy schedule for the
remainder of the year to permit it to happen, the drums of green paint will
come out and '01 will return to its "proper" colour. The black and red are
not intended as permanent, but do permit those that were not around in
previous times get get an idea of what she looked like then.
