One of the most amazing sights to grace South Australian Rails for quite a few years was the appearance of Southern Shorthaul Railroad's vintage bulldogs S317/GM27/GM10/S302, seen near Nectar Brook, on a wagon transfer from Port Augusta to New South Wales.
All four locos were in attendance at Streamliners 2016 in Goulburn, NSW just four weeks previous.
S317 and S302 are former Victorian Railway S class units while GM10 and GM27 were originally built for the Commonwealth railways. All are Clyde/EMD six-motor products with 567C donks, except GM10 which is only a four-motor unit with a 567BC.

The streamlined S-Class locomotives are finally finished (unless we modify them further)! I have been helping Teunis with them for the last couple of months. Teunis has built two locos (301 and 302) and I have built a third (303) to go with the non-streamlined S that I built last year.
The design of the boiler, cab, streamlining and tender are all Teunis’s. I designed the running gear including the 3D-printed rods, redesigned the nose, added details such as handrails, and made the stickers (gold vinyl).
The VR crest and lettering were hand drawn based on scanned photographs. Thanks Mike for the loan of the vinyl cutter. Where possible, Teunis has used chromed tiles on his locos. The gold on mine is all vinyl.
The locos are fitted with custom led lights powered by 4xAAA batteries inside the boiler. They are currently unpowered – they will be pushed by motors under the carriages. I may try to power mine through the tender in the future.
Four S Class locomotives were built by the Victorian Railways as express passenger locomotives in 1928. They were streamlined in 1937 with the introduction of the new Spirit of Progress between Melbourne and Albury on the New South Wales border.
S313 and G515 make their way towards Echuca through the former site of Kanyapella as a late running 9371 bound for Deniliquin in Southern NSW.
