While perusing the Auscision models website today I came across this series of photos by Graham Cotteralll. I can't show them here as I do not have written permission from him but here is a link to what is an impressive photographic collection of modern Australian diesel locos at work. These are pretty good photos and well worth a look if your into modern diesels.

There pictures of the Ghan, Indian pacific and some serious freight trains.

Looks like triple headers are the norm over here.

No problem. I was quite impressed with the photos. Some nice scenic backdrops too.

They are quite similar. Nice Tibet picture.

There's an NR which is this one.

This is an NJ

Thats an interesting link Ozzie. I'm surprised that no-one has commissioned an Aussie version of the Dash 9. It looks pretty good. A scale length train might be tricky if they are 3.5 km long though.

And yes most train lengths are in the 3Km long range. I think the record was 4km and 32,000tonnes.

Wow, you'd need a big layout to model that.

Seriously though, the paint scheme looks good.
There's very few Police out there where those things run! It's like the wild west mate!
