Q4004 check your facts before you post I told squeeky and he went down to Kewdale and there wasn't even a lash up like that there!
In the yard was NR71, NR29, NR45, NR34, NR49 and NR116
And NR54 and NR73 went out on 6PS7
And NR27 was on the IP
Don't get the people of Perth excited by posting untrue stuff on here. |
NR45(PN*) Still at Kewdale this afternoon. Is it heading out on a PS or PM freight

I got this same PDF a while ago myself, Its going to be a Sh#t to see the Ghan livery go to White.
My poor old NR109 is the first Ghan to go under the Brush 
Cheers, Michael |
What? So all the IP and Ghan NRs are to be repainted? Is it a modification of existing liveries or a complete different design?

Yes 4464, there is a growing collection of them in the back roads of APT.
They look rather nice (as a minor change from the norm)
None have had the side signage done though, maybe they will start to be applied now the Loco has hit the rails
Cheers,
Tony

To answer your question kafoopsy, Yes all Ghan and Indian Pacific NR's are going to be painted into what GSR call there "Modern" Livery.
Also as we know, AN3 also shares the Ghan livery and there is word going around that she will be be stripped of that and put into PN* with AN5 and another AN.
Cheers, Michael |
What why would GSR modernise the IP and Ghan liveries they are excellent and stand out in the NR fleet cant they just leave them as they are they are fantastic and are colourful in combos on freights and passenger trains.as for AN3 i will be so pissed off if it goes into PN colours, i've been chasing my heartout to get it in the Ghan livery but failed so far. its sad though ah well if they have to modernise The Ghan and IP liveries us railfans cant stop them for changing their minds. wonder if they will do a Overland livery on the cards for some NR locos.

It is a shame they're going to re-paint The Ghan and Indian Pacific Locomotives. If you see them heading to Brisbane, please let me know!

Is there firm information on this or is it more speculation ?
I could not see them painting loco's that are still looking good. it is just not good business sence.
Many of the drivers up this way that I have spoken to say that the ghan livery is one of the easiest to sight in all conditions.

This is FACT not speculation it has been confirmed by GSR and Pacific National.

Well who are you to say its not good buisness sence? If you read the post correctly they are not getting rid of the Ghan livery its going to be a modified version so the name will still be there, Don't see that being a bad business plan...
P.S Not everyone on this site talks Bullsh#t and guesses everything that happens and thinks they know everything...
