Special 16 in rims....
What I have been able to observe and photograph has been ALL Australian contracts made in late Aug to Sept 1944...... they are all C60L with the small axles and 16 rims. a further oddity is that I have seen them made/dated a few weeks apart YET some have the old early civialin restangualr instrument cluster while others have the round dials...... done with left overs..???
Seen them in Sault Ste Marie, Belleville, I have one, one in Montreal, Grimsby, ect
DAvid Hayward... God bless his soul.... would love to dealt with such oddities.
It seems that they were all late war tiem production that may have been cancelled ands never sent downunder and eventually got liquidated locally in Eastern Canada.... pure speculation in my part.
