T class diesel electric locomotives
MODEL: G8B

3rd Order (10 locos): T 357 - T 366

Mechanically almost identical to the 2nd order, this series featured a re-designed radiator. Until 1984 all of them wore the VR blue and gold paint scheme, 3 locos made it into V/Line orange/grey.

T 360 was rebuilt by Clyde with a low nose after an accident.
