The NSW 4306 4001 Heritage Locos - Eveleigh Workshops, NSW, Australia 2011

43 Class
The first locomotive, 4301, was delivered in September, 1956 at Newcastle. The class was assembled by A Goninan & Company 
at Broadmeadow, as sub-contractor to AEI. All six had been delivered by June, 1957.
The power plant was an Alco Series 244 four-cycle 12-cylinder diesel engine, delivering 1,750 horsepower (1,300 kW) and the electrical equipment was from General Electric. 
Dynamic braking was fitted. Multiple unit control enabled the members of this class to run with each other and all subsequent diesel-electric locomotives. Full driving control was only provided in the front cab, but a hostler's compartment was provided at the rear to enable the locomotive to run light engine in reverse.

40 Class
There were subtle deviations from the standard RSC-3 built by the American Locomotive Company.
These included a cab that angled inwards below the cab windows to reduce the width of the locomotive at the eaves of the cab roof, and placement of the handrails on the car body rather than the standard walkway arrangement.
The last unit in service was 4015, it being withdrawn on 12 Dec 1971, the 4001 has been preserved in the New South Wales Rail Transport Museum, Thirlmere, New South Wales. 4001 returned to Service in September 2010. It is the only operating RSC-3 in the world.
