QR rail motor RM 47 was similar to RM 48 & 49.
I suspect it was a precursor to them
RM47 was a 100 hp Leyland rail motor
(RMs 48 & 49 were 150 hp Winton)

Starting plan my changed trip to Melbourne.
Shooting for January 2022.
Hope to have a ride on the std gauge VL.
Do you think it will be ready o' wise ones?
And I hope I can make it Bairnsdale too.
As well as have a look around at the LX removals etc.
