 |
| Has been a little while since and update, sorry I’ve been slack. Here is a reminder of what the X-Class looked like |
|
 |
| The Guys at Redfern have been far from slack, here is the X-Class now. While not total completed, it has come a long way. |
|
 |
| The amount of work that has been completed is significant, as you can see here it was dismantled to get at the rust and components needed replacement. |
|
|
| |
 |
| With a good portion reassembled, it is beginning to look like a brand new unit. Guys you’ve done a great job
|
|
 |
| Inside the cab, still has work to be done, but heaps better that it was. It is now “safe” to walk in without fear of rust giving way. |
|
 |
| Another view inside the cab, the controls are now assembled and some of the gauges need to be inserted, but work is progressing. |
|
| |
 |
| Getting a paint job? Nope ! Covering up graffiti, these units are to be scrapped but still need to have the rubbish removed/covered up. Keep working Peter |
|
 |
|
Still amazes me that mindless morons, risk their lives and spend their money to be able to “Tag” anything they can. Must be extremely rich and bored, or completely stupid. |

| One of the old reds awaiting her turn under the artisans hands. She will be stripped and lovingly restored to her former glory. |

 |
| One of the reds that has had a clean up, the paint glistens and the unit would grace any line. Maybe there is work yet, able to climb steep grades, work in tunnels, is this leading somewhere? |

Old updates

 |
| Some history is left to die, here we see a couple of 48’s, really the only thing that these (or even just one) could be used for is a static display. . |
