C60L in Argentina

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

G'day Keith! My database showed a number of Holden-assembled CMPs with PE- etc contracts.

However, you must be right in the sense that the plate shows that it was not a CKD job (which carried a Holden sequential number) and usually a plant code. I stand corrected and suggest that it was a SUP import to Australian order, and not assembled per se. The serial number is in the Oshawa sequence, and lack a plant code as well.

Thanks for pointing out the wrong choice of words.

Hi David

Do you remember the PE 197 12 series we posted previously on MLU.... most were Aug. Sept. 44 but the -12 series had small C15a axles and 16 inch rims

It seems possible that the PE 197 11 series contract preceeded the other Aussie contract and were all built in Oshawa.

Strange where CMP show up........
