Thanks. The rolling stock is really easy. I’ve got some half designed but all you have to do is replace a strip of grey in the Santa Fe carriages with a strip of orange. A little fiddle here and there and you’ve got a decent Ghan carriage.

Since I know nothing much about Australian trains (having developed the train habit during my stay in the UK) I couldn’t really tell you much about the motive power or anything.

It is usually headed by NR74 - the NR class are GE powered, and the 3 repainted in Ghan livery (74, 75 and 109) are 3000kw (4020HP). Here is a pic of NR74 pulling “The Ghan”: http://www.railpage.com.au/modules.php?set_albumName=The_Ghan&id=NR74_AN3_5AD8_Livingstone_3Jun05&name=gallery&include=view_photo.php

Thanks for the info. Ahh power stats. Mighty!!!
