In 4K, cabview from one of the gorgeous ex-Victorian Railways C-Class locomotives (C501). About 5 hours.

Sexy Bruce, no not you the loco 🤣 🤣. I really like those VR C class loco's, there is a model in Trainz.

Many thanks buddy.

Mike.

[seagoon]

Yep....they are a nice-looking loco and very much so in that livery, Mike.
Almost as sexy as me.

[haverfordwest]

Yup handsome loco's i would say Bruce. Have you looked in the mirror lately, buddy ? 🤣 🤣 🤣.

Mike.

And Under the hood is a gp40.

[haverfordwest]

I thought it was an SD40 Derek ?

Mike.

[seagoon]

So did I.

[derekmorton]

No, it is a gp40 with coco bogies, it only weighs 134 tonne.

[seagoon]

Thanks, Derek.

sd40 emd number gt26 weight 177 ton
gp40 emd number gt26 weight 126 ton

Call it what ever you llike, they are the same except the bogies and weight.

The bogies make it look like an sd40, the weight likens it to a gp40.

On ARTC track our normal axle load is 22.5 ton.

For the sake of uniformity I will call it an sd40 as well.
