What about a 3rd series T? There are currently no reasonably priced
ready to run models of this loco but it has run in Victoria, NSW and SA
(CK). It can also have a number of interesting liveries. ie: VR, V/Line,
AN, GNR, FV, FA and WCR. I think this locomotive would be extremely
popular as it is appropriate for modellers of the late 60's through to
the present day. It also covers three states! In addition to this the H
class could be released as they are basically T classes with a different
number plate. I think Austrains could get a fair bit of mileage out of
this loco. Powerline struck gold with the 48 because of the number of
variations of this loco, including the SAR 830. I think the 3rd series T
class would be similar. I know I would buy a few T's and one H if they
were released. BTW, I can't wait for the X class! :-)
