Diesel NSU61
This postcard is very nostalgic for me; I had an electric train set as a boy, and one of the two locomotives I had was very similar to this one.
Back of postcard:
S164 (SA/NT) Diesel NSU61
Built in 1955 by Sulzer, NSU61 is a Commonwealth Railways narrow gauge diesel engine. This type was used on the Alice Springs and Darwin railways to replace the original steam engines. Resplendent in its CR livery NSU61 is a link to Darwin, and a key exhibit at the National Railway Museum at Port Adelaide, South Australia.
