Fantastic! They look really good. Congrats to Hillside Workshops for a fine job indeed! Now if they would build a few more to service the Overlander too.
Nice big picture windows a la Japanese tourist cars. Not to be confused with the AK cars on the big island to your west which are the track test cars that run all over Australia on the standard gauge network.
Will AG's 199 216 90 182 78 239 be AKV / AKL

@NZRlover Unsure sorry, but AG's 61, 245 and 101 will be or have already been rebuilt.

Looks good! The train could almost be mistaken as a new Southerner. (We wish!)

@rawiri091 These will go into service on the Tranz Alpine and Coastal Pacific services. I'm unsure when, I think the month October was mentioned.
