Not finding a thread in which to mention it, I thought it might be an idea to have a miscellaneous NSW sightings thread for those one-off type things ...
To start the ball rolling, saw an Interail 423 (42302 I think, but could be wrong) go light engine through Granville (towards Clyde) this arvo ... I had a camera on me (well, my wife did), but it caught me by surprise and didn't get a pic. 
Anyone know where she was going from/to?
-----
While I'm at it, I also saw in the ARG compound two Ls side by side - one Interail, and one ARG. Immediatly outside the compound were 8144 and 48164
Also in Clyde yard were X48, X52, and a PN coloured X (X5?):
A good variety of colour in a small space. 
On a more unusual note was a NPRY cement hopper on the Maintrain side of the main lines.

It has now moved and has a partner in crime - there's one Railcorp orange 48 at either end of the shed that the AK cars are kept in - spacing between them seems to be about 3 AK cars in length ... couldn't tell what was inbetween though.

This morning that funny looking self-propelled track recording unit whizzed by Ashfield towards Central - can't remember the code (LS039?), but it had wedge shaped cabs at both ends.

RVX4 would be the designation you be looking for?

Cheers for that - was fairly confident on the 039, but couldn't remember the letters.
Was quite a surprise for this (at the time) half asleep gunzel.
