    Here's a picture of some of them after they were sent to Australia, on a FreightLink train at Darwin (Berrimah Yard).

    Gordon,

    Thank you, I should have mentioned I found that site this morning after David Bromage told me the BCOL code and origin of the vehicles on an Australian group.

    David,

    Isn't that the pic I posted on Aussie N/railpage.com.au asking about the flats origin? :`) hahah, such a small world! I spent all of last night trying to find the blastard things on US and Candian websites and model companies.

    Are there any BC Rail guys out there who may have additional knowledge/information?

    Gordon and David, thank you, I shall continue the search,

    cheers,
    Chris (Hendo) Henderson
