Awhile ago pick up the two Candy Parcel Vans the Powerline one had no coupler's on it so I put Kadee coupler's on it, but when I sat it on track with the SDS one the Powerline the couplers would not match up the Powerline sat 3mm higher and it like a wobbly old drunk and a its a lot lighter too then the SDS one.
I got to find away to remove the bogies off the Powerline and replace them its not going to be a easy job to do as they are the problem and the are very loose fitting on the van.

Forgot to say that they a colour scheme that N.S.W.Government Railways Passenger Cars, The first colour was Indian Red and there was two different shades of the colour and they were called Tuscan and Russet Red, The Diesel Loco's were painted the same colours too. They started to paint some Diesels and Passenger Cars in the Candy colour scheme, They soon found that the Diesel were taken to long to paint in the Candy so they went to Red with white strips was called the Red Terror scheme.
Then as the Passenger cars were start show there age and been heavy wooden cars and People were not traveling on the Trains, They started to sell them off and the new XPT passenger train came in to try and get people to travel again.
A lot of the long distance trains were called mail trains as the mail was sent around the state before it went to roads.
The Parcel Vans had the mail in them.
Oh most Passenger trains had Seven cars, First Class,Second Class, Third Class, then they were changed First/Second and Economy class.

The Red on the 44 was not sitting right with me so after on it I found a photo of 4458 with the last paint scheme on it before it was sold it was dark blue and yellow, After it was sold it was painted dark green with white strip it has been painted again in all silver. got to touch up a few places.

And this is her last colours too yes!

You never believe what I just found after 30 years and forgot I had them.
I found a set of AMRI decals for a 44 class loco they are the yellow strips for the Indian Red Diesel and found flush-glaze windows too.
You can not buy the decals or windows for the Lima Diesel Loco's any more.
Think someone trying to tell me some thing about the 44 was looking for other decals when I found them,Spooky. yes!
