Despite the ever expanding fleet of V/locity railcars replacing N Class locomotives on shorter turns of duty (including destinations as far flung as Echuca, Ararat and Maryborough), the continuing expansion of regional passenger services in Victoria will ensure that the N Class need not be replaced in the near future.
Three of the class were regauged to standard gauge for Albury passenger service in 2010, and V/Line is rapidly repainting the entire fleet to their new corporate red/yellow scheme.
