@JBofBrisbane This one was definitely the sleek lines of a GM, despite the graffitti, carbon staining (hasn't had a decent bath in decades) and satellite tracking apparatus on its roof
@JBofBrisbane Far as I can tell, from the outside it seems that the main differences are with the cooling fans in the roof, the layout of the windows up the sides, but not much else externally
@jmsschooner - wow, I knew Hornby did a Victorian S-class in OO, but I didn't know they painted it up as a GM as well. Love to see a photo or vid. See my comment to Mechknight re difference between a GM and a CL.
A full sized version of this one works near where I live. Designated GM36, she still has most of her Commonwealth Railways livery, except for where it's carboned up, and the graffitti has been painted over
Nice

@Mechknight73 - The CL class was longer, and had that "semi-octagonal" roof profile, whereas the GM's roof was curved over.

@Mechknight73 - the S (GM12) series is different from the CL class, but has the same EMD nose.
