Commonwealth Railways NSU No.54, Alice Springs 2006
Ghan Preservation Society, Alice Springs August 2006.
Commonwealth Railway NSU Class locomotive No.54.
These were delivered in 1954 - 1955, with BRCW builders numbers DEL1 - DEL 14, being the first diesel electric locomotives built by the Birmingham Railway Carriage & Wagon Company, Smethwick (BRCW).
BRCW has long since passed into history, but remarkably all the NSU Class has survived in various states of decay or preservation.
Similar locomotives were also built for the Sierra Leone Development Co. (SDLC) in Sierra Leone, but like BRCW these have long since passed into history.
