42220 with a repair in undercoat grey on the side roof, also fitted now but not noticeable are rear view mirrors, one guess what the repair was?.
Also about to make a return is 42213 after a long spell in storage, the unit was modified with Austrains 80 class drive and chassis, however the chassis is been changed back to the original Lima 422 as 42220 was two years back. 42220 retained the Austrains drive fitted onto the original 422 chassis but 42213 is receiving it's original chassis with Ahearn drive and why is the success with the low speed tolerance of 4457 fitted up the same with Ahearn drive 3 years now. The Austrain drive is quiet and will run all day as it does but will stall on lower current. Auscision 42219 is the gem of the fleet for detail and with time and effort to get it right the Lima loco's are on par without the light show, in fact the time spent rebuilding with fitting up and appearance make over is the hobby hands on side I enjoy the most.
