DAZ 1906 is still in Picton. Its been a while since we had 2! DA class in town. Pretty sure D1562 is here as well hiding in the trees at Picton. So we have D, DA, DB and DD class down here.

D1562 has been chilling in Kwinana yard for the last weekish, just north of the maintenance sheds. Seen it yesterday, dunno if it headed down your way today DB Class. The 2 angled vents either side of the no1 end (dynamic brakes?????), with the yellow/black stripes on the ends, look tops!

I will have to double check I thought I saw it but I may be mistaken.

DAZ 1901 seems to be on rail recovery trains.

After being stabled in Kwinana yard for the last few weeks in the same spot, I've noticed D 1562 has been moved to just north of the workshops sometime after Friday arvo.

Might be heading for a paint or maintenance, I'll have a look for it later this arvo.

Interesting. They are from different builders however. Whether that has any effect. I will note that the trailing DB i saw was 2311 i think, one of the Aurizon painted ones. So its possible that its had a modification to its own engine control. But i do not recall hearing any difference in aceleration, except what sounded like a bearing whine from the alternator (havent heard it before). I might have to chase it on the weekend and see what i can see.

the DBZ has a ZTR traction control system in it which gives a slower but more controlled response to the throttle.

DFZ's have the Traction Control System as well.

Has anyone seen P2511 with the maroon lettering of "AURIZON" replacing the "ARG a QR Company" logo yet? The photo is from the Trains of WA website

I suppose all diesels owned by Aurizon with the ARG Yellow livery with maroon lining, will have the same treatment as P2511.

It looks like an MS paint edit of a Photo that would occur on some forums...............

There is an ACN in Picton. Just arrived. Did not get a number. DB 2309 is making a lot of noise. Something in the bogies. Like gear vibration, or it could be spalling of the wheels maybe ?

That would have been ACN4173.  As David has noted, ACN4142 has gone to Narngulu.
ACN4143 and 4175 are still at Forrestfield, while ACN4172 and 4174 have not left Queensland yet.

Ok, I have searched everywhere.
Does anyone have the old QR numbers for the DD class fleet, perticularly DD2359.

I miss locopage.

Cheers

I have them as:

2355 = 2101
2356 = 2105
2357 = 2109
2358 = 2117
2359 = 2120

If anyone knows better, let me know...

Locopage went away because it was too much work to keep it up to date...

Thanks for that guys.

Now how about the DFZ's. I have
2401 - ex 2356
2402 - ex 2349
2403 - ex 2361
2404 - ex 2370
2405 - ex 2371
2406 - ex 2306
2407 - ex 2374

Also, did DFZ2406 & 2407 revert back to old numbers when they returned to Queensland??

Is it legal to have double stacks on a regular flatcar? Intermodal rake @ QR Forrestfield featured 6 x 20 footers on top of a regular 60ft flat
