    Notchless air throttle and Davies Metcalf brake valve, these EE's did take a bit of getting used to when I first was exiled to Tassie. Not one of my fav Aussie Alco sounds, but it was as close as I could get on the apple isle. YEP, I did enjoy them in preference to Ed of the WC imposed EMD things.
