In the latest issue of Motive Power in the round up it lists 42103 and 42105 (both currently sitting at Goulburn) being sold to a Craig Prior . My question is who is Craig Prior and does this mean they are heading for preservation ?No doubt Mr Prior could answer better than anyone else but he is definitely not a scrap dealer. I believe Mr Prior would love to see both units hauling stuff around the state but restoring these to operating condition will consume lots of resources. Don't expect anything in a hurry.
For those interested. 42103 today lead Lachlan Valley Railway units 4204 and 4716 for the "Blue Suede Express" from Sydney Terminal to Parkes for the annual Elvis celebrations there.ABC News Vic said they were running 2 trains this year due to demand?
