Saw both N's double-heading with FN2? on a down Geelong Pass through Werribee at about 1840.

Consist was N468+N460+BZN267 (new livery)+FN18 (red livery) on 8241 (1809 down Geelong); double headed as one of the N's will be used tomorrow for light loco grain loop signals testing, and will presumably return on an up service tomorrow night or Thursday morning

Being a Wednesday there may not be as much as there would on a weekend!
But I hope there's a few out and about to post pics online; I wanted to go but uni put an end to that idea!

I'm guessing you didn't get a chance to read 3 posts above...

A simialr setup was used for this morning's Geelong to Southern Cross 6:56 service, but it was the N468 double-headed with another N-class behind it, still in the Blue&Red livery. I didn't catch which one, because I was still half asleep when I boarded. :p

N468 & N453 (Can't remember if this is right) with N13 and BCZ hauled this. I saw it at Werribee, I think it just keeps following me at the moment...
Yesterday went hunting out N468 on the Grain Loop tests. Caught it just after 1230 waiting to start testing. Unfortunately, the camera batteries decided to die just as I was taking a photo, which left me with this very ordinary photo on the phone:
It was back on shed when I passed by 1630.

It would have been good if they put the 'City of...' plates inside the grey strip making it easier to read.

I know. You've thought that would've been common sense wouldn't you? But they decided to position it in a dumb spot.

Nothing about the livery seems to be a result of common sense apart from the high visibility aspect
