Interestingly, hull 259 seems to have fared much better, being at Corowa for Year of the Carrier, owned by Robin Mawson. His is a LP2 built by Victorian Railways in 1941.

What did you buy the wife to sweeten her up.

Looks like another good find.

Hello Col.
I guess I am one of the lucky ones she supports me fully with my hobby,and is pleased to see that we are saving these fine little machines for future generations to enjoy, and she gets to see a fair bit of our country on these trips,
