Re: Newcastle [NSW] dmus

["Al Barrett" <ajbarrett@hunterlink.net.au>]

They are also regulars on the "school train" Dungog @ 5pm depart weekdays
but mostly they run between telarah and Newcastle, endeavours usually only
run these services when extra seats are required... more than a 4 car 620,
or when they have a problem [eg one compressor working]... (because its
easier to rescue a set when there is others around to attach to it)
also..631...(oh yeah... and 731) the ones they re-built after they were
condemed with age [unconfirmed] using the bits of 638,  '31sounds rather
sick... an idle problem or somthin... it seems to Idle very low and not have
as much power as the others

they are 620s... the only 600s are at paterson... 602/707 and 606 with 702's
door on the driving end
