The red car you refer to was one of the yellow shunters (3663 I think). 
My sources tell me that the car does not belong to SETS, even though they 
are working on it. It and the other yellow car were moved to Meeks Road 
about 4-5 weeks ago. Over the last 1 1/2 weeks, SETS members have been 
painting the car back to Indian Red. When I saw it late last week, it 
still had yellow ends, don't know about the other side though. The two U-
Boat cars that were at Meeks Road have gone to Goulburn Roundhouse for 
storage along with 2 other U-Boats, all belonging (or to belong) to SETS.
