   4819 is now owned by RSA and is still in the tuscan colour
scheme, although very shabby. I have heard it is to be repainted into the
RSA scheme within the next few weeks. Of notice is that 4819 has received
the cab modifications, which are similar to the mods carried out to the
Freightcorp 48s. But the air-conditioning unit on the roof is missing,
and a plate has been put in place over the hole in the roof until the repaint
is complete.
        This unit had been inside
Chullora workshops for the past 2 1/2 years undergoing a complete overhaul.

I hope this helps
