These old girls are working with track maintenance between Fairfield & Glenfield (Sydney) at the moment.
I thought they were 44 class locos but these are double ended & have different side windows compared to locos that Google shows as being 44s.

I've just Googled the company Southern Shorthaul Railroad & come up with this:
B Class Locomotives
B class is correct!
Here's the same two a year or so back doing the same duties on the Carlingford Branch. One of those locomotives is a model :p

Yeah...its in the (orange and silver) Auscision Models colour scheme which produce the loco in 1:87...some of Auscision Models' people work for/own SSR, I don't know the full story.Quote:

I've met the Auscision boys a few times at train shows,good blokes and allways up for a chat:),their models are probably the best Aussie ones I've seen(I don't model Aust.,so not an expert!),and they have allmost tempted me to build an Aussie layout......maybe????.Its good to see small private rail companys hauling freight and making a go of it;),cheers Gregg:)
There are SSR locos running on the Hunter Valley line, I cant remember if it was freight or coal, only 1 of the locos was yellow and black.Quote:
