Re: 1307 to Yass.

Interesting claim Rasputin.

I believe that 1307 was withdrawn because of blown tube(s) in mid-1972.

The locomotive has been incomplete (no rods) for a long time - I saw it
that way in March 1973.  A photograph exists at
  http://www.cs.monash.edu.au/~ajh/trains/nsw/13class/1307+3046-1.jpg
on John Hurst's page  http://www.cs.monash.edu.au/~ajh/trains/

1307 wasn't so good when it was sent to Thirlmere in 1975.
