8124 at Delec on November 4th, 1990.
Hunter based 81 class were never very common during our Delec visits. However, on this day 8115, 8119, 8124, 8126 and 8132 were all in attendance.

All of these are still in service with Pacific National.

Preserved 4306 sits at Delec on the night before the depot open day.

A much, much, MUCH, younger me between 4486 and 4446 in the final days for the class.
4446 would go on to be scrapped, much to the upset of the photographer, however 4486 was purchased by the 'Lachlan ALCo Group' and is preserved.

4701 now belongs to the 'Lachlan Valley Railway' and still sees commercial service. She is currently wearing the yellow and black livery of 'Southern Shorthaul'.

Both 8502 and 4611 have gone to the big roundhouse in he sky.

8501 was one of the lucky sparks to survive into preservation. She is owned by the 'Sydney Electric Train Society', while the only other class member to survive, 8507, is owned by the 'Dorrigo Steam Railway & Museum'.

4805 in a new Red Terror repaint, sitting next to 42207 in her unique (for the class) light blue version of the Freightrail Blue livery.
4805 was saved from scrapping and, more recently, has been sitting at the former Broadmeadow loco depot in horrific condition. It is not currently known if she still actually exists.
42207 is doing far better, remaining in use with 'One Rail' as their 2207.
