Those who are into the UK lines represented in RW3 will no doubt have tried the high-speed HST Intercity train.
What most of you may not know is that this train was used as the "pattern" for the State Rail Authority of New South Wales "XPT" (Express Passenger Train), introduced in the early 1980s on country routes in NSW, radiating out from Sydney and serving Brisbane and Melbourne
Here's a pic of our XPT, in a current "CountryLink" livery.
And here's one in it's original 1980s livery...
And one in the special 2000 Olympic Games livery.....
