Here's some more information on the Australian EMD and ALCO licensed locomotives...

The EMD/Clyde Engineering A7 and its follow-on A16 was built for three different railroad systems: the GM Class for Commonwealth Railways, the S class for Victorian Railways, and the 42 Class for New South Wales Government Railways.

The 42 class locomotives were unique because they were originally built with British-style link couplings and buffers; The VR S class diesels carried on the names given to the original VR S class 4-6-2s rebuilt and streamlined in 1937 for the Spirit of Progress, the first streamliner in Australia.

Examples of all three, plus the double-ended ML2 A and B classes of VR and the 421 Class of NSWGR, still exist in both museum preservation and in active mainline service. In November 2007, A VR S Class and a B Class in their original blue-and-gold livery powered the 70th Anniversary excursion of the Spirit of Progress, which had eight of the original 1937-built cars.

The CL Class is officially the AJ26C, and was further subdivided into CLP (passenger) and CLF (freight) versions. The doubled-ended 421 Class built for NSWGR is the AJ16C.

The NSWGR also had a 43 Class under license from ALCO and built by Goninan Engineering; the carbody resembled that of the GE UM20 demonstrator built in the U.S. in the 1950s, the lineal predecessor of the GE U-boats.

There is also a "real" EMD "covered wagon" in Australia, an ex-Western Pacific F7A purchased in the 1970s by Mount Newman Mining.
