Well it's a long way from Morayshire, morayshire. It's in New South Wales ... at Thornton, an outer suburb of Newcastle, NSW, about 160km (100 miles) north of Sydney

About that. She was built in 2006; the first of the four EDI Rail (Cardiff) locos.

And how long ago was it built.. 1 and 1/2 years?

[NoseconeOz]

You're absolutely right. When I switched to "watch in high quality" is was as clear as day. Note how the cab number is the ONLY clean part on the whole loco.

I had to pause it a couple of times.. Just to make sure.
