35 Class (NSW SRA)
Contributions by Raichase and michaelgreenhill
Description
The 45 Class were banned as lead units by the unions in 1984, due to noisy and draughty cabs. Six 45 Class locomotives were modified by the NSW SRA to have better soundproofing, better door seals, as well as better heating and air-conditioning. These locomotives, while initially numbered as "451 Class", would become known as the "35 Class".
