Got the pic 1st time. Nice looking trains, those Lo-Vs. Its rare to sit up
the front on trains, even better if the Motorman leaves the cab door
open,and lets you watch him drive.

Cheers, Mick, who used to ride on DERM,ElectroMotive Gas Electric,with a
Winton 200HP
.. petrol engine and GE? Genny, later re engined
with 2 x 110HP 6-71 Detriots and
.. watch the Driver. The DERMs ran on the Victorian
Railways till the 70s.
