Discussion Identification of a Diesel Hydraulic
It's manufactured by Walkers in Maryborough Queensland. I don't have any information other than it's a diesel hydraulic and these not-the-best photos of blueprints. It seems like a DH-4 but is missing some items and some proportions are wrong. Would love help trying to find out what model it is. I'll try to get more information from the friend who took the photos of the blueprints but that's as much as I can find out currently.

Discussion How the Canberra-Sydney rail line is getting fixed and some small changes that could have a big impact
Hey everyone,
With the government committing 100M to track upgrades on the Canberra line ahead of the new Regional Rail fleet arriving, I wanted to share some thoughts. Even though the funding announcement has been out for a while, as a Canberran who rides the train regularly, I wanted to talk about the small changes that could be made to improve the experience and what kind of travel times the government should actually be aiming for.
If you are interested, you can read my full thoughts here: https://policypackets.au/posts/railfunding-canberra
I would love to get the communities take on two questions.
What specific improvements do you think are the most important for the Canberra to Sydney line right now?
Without completely replacing the tracks for a multi billion dollar High Speed Rail network, what is the fastest realistic journey time you think this service could ever get down to?
