ADPF2003F part 2

I had not seen ADPF 2003F since it was disassembled in the Varley yard.
pics here
Now rebuilt with the body removed.
One thing I did notice that was different is the little guards to protect the
wheels from ballast.

Some recent pictures

EL61/EL56 leave Kooragang Island after unloading

Aurizon 42107 shunting the Carrington yard No2 end leading
still showing its old Interail paint scheme

Lone 82 shunts a single RRLX wagon while SSR classes are about
to unload grain

SSR/El Zorro hybrid paint job good to see the Edward Henty
plates still being used

One that I kept missing but finally got was B61 in the one off
Streamliners scheme with 44206 and RL305 behind

One of my Favourite locos 48123 with the peeling Freight Corp paint you
can still see the tuscan and chrome colours under neath 

And last but not least 621/721 on tour heading south through
Adamstown

Today at Carrington, there was a minor derailment of a WGBY 01005K grain hopper

The last pic of the crane attempting to lift the hopper but unfortunately it had a bit of trouble and I had to leave after a while...
