Any truth to the rumour that CLP16 has been swapped for GM30?

Dream on, what's GWA going to get out of that? Seeing as CLP16 has come off lease to PN it looks likely that its going to WA for a while. Will brighten up a few railfans day in WA no doubt; seeing as some think its getting boring look what turns up!
Mate, if that loco pulls as hard as you do, it'd move anything.
I'd still rather have an ALCo.

So CLP16 is on hire to ARG?
Looks like GM30 is dead anyway as the wheels appear to be headed east..

[/quote] A futile exercise trying to 'save' money instead of buying new fuel efficent, high performance locos. Spend dollars to save cents......  [/quote] This project was commenced by previous ownership of ARG. The new ownership has ordered new locomotives. Anyone want the reconditioned 645 engine fitted to GM30 thats just sitting out in the rain.

GM30 is sitting outside ARG Forrestfield wrapped all over in white plastic covering appears could be on a trip interstate for this job to be completed. Reconditioned bogies have supposedly already gone east.
