    That I don't know so you can have that, I just wrote it the same way us down under criminal poms write it.

    nah we're both right, it is the theory that we are discussing, punctuation and capitalisation can be put aside - after all we both speak English but spell alot of words differently

    mom = mum
    jail = gaol

    basically the main point is that the poms/aussies/yanks use the whyte system for steam (counting wheels) and the Europeans and all of us for diesels use the UIC system counting axles with driving wheels expressed as a letter (A,B,C,D)

    So that's why I've seen SD-40s shown as CoCo instead of CC! Or should it be Co'Co' ? I'll just stick to SD-40!
