Interesting looking loco, for something so boxy looking. Looking forward to more images of this one, while in revenue service.

Hope the brakes work on this Siemens. Queensland should have asked Victoria about Siemens trains and how to stop them. We've had lots of experience trying to pull them up. Yes it's as ugly as ours too!

The 71s will work Coal Trains on the Goonyella System in North Queensland.
These Locomotives don't have troubles with the brakes as far as I know, but they are prohibited from leading because they are too noisy in the cab.

In my previous comment, I meant that the 3800s can't lead because they are too noisy (and I've heard the cab leaks too). Not only that, the paint is quite faded now because the European sun is much weaker than the Australian sun.
