dont have that, but if your interested, QR's old 1300, 1600, 1620 and 2350
class diesel-electrics were made by EE.  However there arent any in service
up here anymore.. but there were some of the 16's preserved in the QR
heritiage fleet, so it would make sense for EE to be still around at
rocklea?  although i dont know for certain.

Ahh, thanks for the plug for Locopage :-)

Anyway, EE also built the 1250 and 1270 classes, while the parent company in the UK built the 1200 class. Details at:

I also have the builders numbers of EE locos, for those interested, at:

QR's heritage division has preserved one of each of the earlier classes, except the 1200 class (however the ARHS-Qld has one of these).
