Re: NSW 90 class question

The only things added to the 90s was a roof mounted Air Conditioner, fuel, water
and oils. These could have also been supplied but were not in an effort to
reduce the weight. The A/C units could have been sent to the factory for fitting
as was the case with the dash consoles. There was no logical reason for the
allocation of builders numbers and these units have an EMD not Clyde makers
plate fitted.
