I think that you are both right. In Feb 1972 when I travelled
Bombala-Nimmitabel-Bombala. The Mixed had 48 class, goods wagons, a BS car and
an EHO van. These two vehicles would be attached to the Mail at Cooma. The
return to Bombala was in FP13. Unfortunately I cannot find my note book to see
the details of the trip.
