In the second half of our illustrious 'Streamliners 22' coverage, we take a look at the locomotives that formed the display.
If this hasn't already been late enough in appearing, wait till you see how pathetically tardy our Streamliners video is going to be.

Some Botty Ends
The less popular end of these beauties.

In my humble (and probably greatly biased) opinion, World Series look awesome no matter what end you are looking at.

That Chumrail sure has treated us to some wonderfully turned-out locomotives in liveries far different to the endless sea of Indian Red.
First, it was 42103 in the magnificent (probably some bias there also) candy livery. Now it is 42105 in the striking livery of the former 'Northern Rivers Railroad'.

T387 T357 P22 sitting around the Goulburn turntable.
Though not actually Streamliner, P22 was one of the main units I was looking forward to having a good look at.
Having been rebuilt during the original V/Line livery era, they never actually wore the VR Blue. I'd seen it in photos but choose never to judge a livery without seeing it in real life.
No doubt that it looks good, but as someone who spent so much time around Victoria in the early V/Line era, I have to admit I would like to have seen it restored as such.
Still, not my loco, so not my choice ;-)

Random Other Guff

Saturday morning David Goode placed some brand new numbers in the nose of preserved CL17.
It is amazing how much better a set of number boards makes a loco look.

Colourful noses were aplenty.

Kwoarrrrrrr. The first sight you see on entering Streamliners 2022.

You could never accuse them of having a lack of colour.

There was a vast variety of different opinions regarding this livery expressed on the day. Many were positive, and others were more colourful than the loco itself :-)
Personally, I am not really sure, there are some things I may have prefered done a little differently.
However, she looks absolutely striking and will surely draw the attention of anyone she passes. A goal that would surely be what they are aiming for.

7333 was arguably the most streamlined locomotive in Goulburn.
It is seen here in the process of being rebuilt by Ainsworth Engineering in Goulburn.
