GL111 Freightliner Livery

GL111 is the first GL to be painted in a livery other than the standard CFCLA livery.

With a long term contract in place, GL111 has been painted for CFCLA's customer Freightliner.

Very Nice!!

RCS2143

I'm back from holidays in Brisbane. I'll post some NG photos in the coming days.

Caught this Sadleirs container on PS6 yesterday. Now numbered RCS 2143, it is a former Freight Australia container. Sadleirs are running similar containers but the FA or VLine logos have been painted out.

An interesting find in Moss Vale!!

Spoil Wagons

Following a discussion on Aus Model Rail, here are some spoil wagons which look similar to NOFF wagons.




Coded NDCF, these yellow creatures are former G wagons. They were painted yellow when they were converted into a continuous open wagon rake for no stop loading. They have since been split up and new ends built for them.




Still coded NDCH, these are the same origin as the NDCF wagons. They are fited with various end panels depending on what has been replaced over time.

This NDBF is a former BD/NOAF open wagon with shunters platforms on each end.

Without the end platforms, this short spoil wagon is an NDNF which is a former BD/NOAF open wagon.

ARBY Photos

Some ARBY SCT van photos for Norm.


ARBY 4444. Note the location of the Refrigeration lettering. I recall that 4444 and 2677 were prototypes for the ARBY van. Anyone confirm which one it was?


An ABFY being converted at Gemco


A very fresh ARBY with a Carrier reefer unit. All new ARBYs had Carrier units fitted.


Sealed doors fitted to the ARBY vans. Note that the black stipe and lettering is rarely uniform on any two wagons, as the large SCT logos seem to start in slightly different locations each time.


A one off - It has LOGISTICS rather than refrigeration on the side.


Note the Termo King reefer unit - The Carrier unit would have been replaced.


An even newer Thrmo King unit with red details.
