After a bit of ferreting around if found this snippet of info.
The 82 class was built by Clyde Engineering at Braemar (South Australia). It
has a GM 3000HP engine.

Mmmm.  Now James knows a hell of a lot more about trains than I ever will,
but there's a Braemar just down the road from my place here in the Southern
Highlands (of New South Wales), and Clyde Engineering have a fairly
substantial works there on a railway spur that serves no other purpose these
days, and I seem to recall that Eli Donati, who lives a little further south
at Moss Vale was engrossed in building a huge (6 foot long) 82 class.  Now I
may be joining the dots in the wrong order here, but....

It could be an awfully long spur, let's hope the lunchroom isn't at the end
of it.
