The model has no buffers but is otherwise unaltered from the Dutch locomotive previously produced.
The listed price is about $200

I hadn't heard of this....

No insult intended, I should probably have trimmed what I quoted to make my intent clearer.
I was just musing on the irony of a European manufacturer releasing an Australian liveried loco and for it to first show up in the US where the market is presumably pretty much 0.

By the way, the SAR 350 class (interestingly the first D/E built in Australia) also featured the EE 6KT prime mover.

I read somewhere that the first D/E built in Aus is at the Alexandra Timber Tramway museum, Kelly & Lewis 4271, built in 1935 in Springvale, Victoria. More information on this loco can be found at http://www.alexandratramway.org.au/locomotives_non_steam/kelly_+_lewis_4271.htm
The Kelly & Lewis locos are arguably the first diesel engines built in Australia, but they were not diesel-electrics. The engine "drove a Vulcan-Sinclair fluid flywheel coupled to a WIlson preselecting gearbox" (says "Rails to Rubicon"). They should be considered as Diesel-Mechanical.
The SEC ones would also be easily painted in the SECV Blue and Gold, as the only difference between it and the VR Blue and Gold livery is the gold stripe is thinner.
