They said on the news that Manildra was 2nd largest contributor to the Liberal party after Ingham's (Manildra contributed 120K), which I assume the report was refering to the last year.
I am sure somehow they would be able to get their point acrosss for when rail operators change hands which the govt has a say in...................
N.B, They said "Ethanol producer Manildra" I thought they did grain products only and was not aware all this grain hoopla is for ethanol

Actually, technically they're the 'Manildra Group'.

Sorry, it's coming slowly because I can only work on it in lunch time.
Happy Gunzelling and remember, "Go by rail!"

And a lot of the ethanol is imported from South America

No no no, besides, on the number two end it should be CLF, not FCL. 
Let me see what I can come up with...

You call that a corporate livery ?!
That looks like a bulldog in primer with stickers slapped on
Think Red/Yellow (Linfox), Blue/White (CRT), Brown(?) CRT
The CRT 73s look quite smart, and a Bulldog in Red/Yellow Y bands with 'You have been passed by another FOX' on the side would be a bit bright, just too many colours ! Eaiser to make up one from scratch, and a new name for the operating consortium, both of which are common with modern consortiums.
N.B "Passed by another Fox" was Mars's idea.

Ok, so there is a badder livery than a giant FCL or linfox logo on the side of a loco - they've already done that to containers...

lol It actually looks better in TGA format. And I was going for something slightly original.
Besides, G's deserve crap liveries... *runs for the hills*
