Thanks Ruairidh
I see in the Source Book a steel roofed lhd export ARQ. All the ones I have seen in NZ have either had a fabric roof or a replacement compound curvature aluminium covering held in place by a multiplicity of small self-tapping screws.
There isn't much about export models in The Original Austin Seven.
All the sumps I have seen - admittedly a limited number - have been pretty shallow.
Where did you get the information about the export models?
And Bob, my sister and I went on an excursion train through the Manawatu Gorge last year and the extensive damage to the road on the other side of the river was most evident. From your story of the wrecked loco it may be that the rail link is on borrowed time also.
