Driving Trains the Australian Way by Mark Tronson ISBN 9780959110265 (1989)

When locomotive N470 rolled out the door of Clyde’s Melbourne factory in February 1987, it represented a landmark. Since 1951, when the first Diesel-Electric entered service in Australia Clyde has supplied diesel-electric locomotives with horsepower totalling 2 million. And there is a lot more to come. Over the next 3 years, Clyde will spend millions of dollars on computer integrated manufacturing systems and computer-aided design facilities, adding to a substantial CAD investment already in place and working to put Australia into hi-tech motive power.
