Yes you saw correctly, it was A77!!!
I ran it to Bendigo TD 9011 with a Freight Victoria Driver - (Hillside Driver as Second Person) with a 6 car Hitachi in tow, returning as TD 9012 (with a different) 6 car Hitachi ex Bendigo (Gonads) Workshop.
This should continue as and whilst they continue to overhaul trains at Bendigo W/S, although you can't guarantee an A class everytime.

Bob.
