Sulzer theme day
The line up for the ELR Sulzer theme day has been posted, must say i'm a bit disappointed with it apart from D5054, otherwise the usual stuff.
D5054 - first debut following overhaul D7629 33109 45108 D1501 47765

G'day Cliff,
I would be interested to hear the sound of a Sulzer donk. Just two Sulzer locomotive classes existed down-under. Both narrow gauge and operated by the Commonwealth Railways. The first, the NSU class A1A-A1A 850 hp built by BRC&W in the UK from 1954. The second, the NT class Co-Co 1300 hp built by Tulloch Ltd NSW from 1968. All 14 of the NSU remain, but only a couple are preserved in operational condition. Only one of the NT remains. During my trek to Alice Springs in 2001, I did squiz three of the NSU class. The pair rusting to the rails at Marree and one at the Original Ghan museum. Steve.
