I know I sound Dumb, But...
In your first pic, is that a double ended F unit?

RE: Dragon Pass Oz
Nice shots!! The double ended F unit is an Australian "B Class". Built in 1951, they are pretty much F7's with 2 cabs (im guessing for Victorian bracnh lines). The B class also ride on A-1-A trucks as opposed to C-C Trucks.The other F stlye locos are "S Class". They were built acouple of years after the B's. They only have one cab and were built for passenger trains around the state.Both types of locomotives an still be seen in operation for West Coast Railway.>Mike Forster<

>trucks as opposed to C-C Trucks. Actually it was built and a general purpose loco, and was too heavy for many of the branchlines. They had two end so they wouldnt have to be turned at the end of every journey. They did run on C-C trucks not A-1-A (Mike only the GM12 class had A-1-A)Nice shots too adam
