BHP Steel D47 on the Delec wheel lathe.

Now scrapped.

4804 4830 - Hardly surprisingly, both are now scrapped.

4405 at the south end of Delec shed.

It is now scrapped also.

4401 is now statically preserved at Junee Roundhouse.

4438 is withdrawn here and would go on to be scrapped.

4806 still sits unused at Enfield. It is believed to be owned by 'Sydney Ports' and to become a display.

4837 has been scrapped.

4917 owned by Southern Shorthaul.

4446 is now scrapped.

4467 is now scrapped.

4905 owned by Traction Engineering.

4482 is now scrapped.

48116 is now Graincorp 48209.

4472 preserved by the Hunter Valley Railway Trust.

4405 is now scrapped.

4446 is now scrapped.

4470 is also now scrapped.

4454 is now scrapped. Sort of getting depressing.

These few photos show 4819 and 4827 that have gone on to be used in numerous rail infrastructure and other uses.
Today they wear an orange livery with grey, black and white. 

Preserved 4306 sits outside Delec shed with 44215.

Today, 44215 is rebuilt GL110.

4701 is owned by the Lachlan Valley Railway and is in the attractive 'Southern Shorthaul' yellow and black livery.

That is it for our rather drawn out Delec series.

It was hoped that we would be able to source some  relevant documents, or other items, pertaining to Delec.

Alas, that was not to be. Either people aren't hoarders like me, or just weren't all that bothered :-)

Hope the series was not to painful.
