Re: 422s - Have they been Sold?

[Bob <alco@acay.com.au>]

You are correct. Freightcorp can now sell to whoever they want and don't want
to. Recently some 48 class units were stripped of all useful parts and sent to
scrap with a deal whereby the scrappies got the shell but the bogies were
returned. These units were never sold or put up for any form of public disposal.
It is apparent that Freightcorp don't want their competitors like Austrac and
Silverton to buy any more locomotives yet are happy to let associated private
operators like Northern Rivers and Manildra and Cargils have cheap locomotives
without having to bid for them through any public disposal system. Personally, I
don't know how they are allowed to do this. In the UK, EW&S, were prevented from
doing this very thing.
