The New South Wales 42 class was a class of diesel locomotives built by Clyde Engineering, Granville for the New South Wales Government Railways in 1955/56.
4201 was acquired by the NSW Rail Museum. It has been used extensively on charters across the state and ventured interstate to Melbourne. It retains the green and yellow livery it received for the 125th anniversary of N.S.W railways in 1980. As of April 2018 it was in operational condition.
I found it hard to get a good image of this beauty - it's position and shiny paintwork in the light made it difficult to find a good angle

Delighted that you were able to talk to a member of staff who was dedicated to her task. I do this too and am always delighted that people are more than happy to tell you about their work and how much they appreciate the recognition. They make my heart sing!
Annie, for this week’s get pushed challenge take a photo of any subject and style and then make a more interesting or artistic image by flipping or rotating it. How does that sound? I look forward to seeing what challenge you come up with for me.
