I have a photo (or 2) on my flickr, but I havent graphed her for a few years I reckon!

I would have thought 475 would have been decommed before 675!

Tapped into a SCT contact.

Oddly....it was withdrawn due to an engine failure and is down at Rocky being stripped for parts.

I find it hard to believe another engine couldn't be sourced especially in the eastern states.

It's been off-road for about 9 months.
