    I don't know too much about units but was wondering why the 325's are often loco hauled when they seem perfectly capable of running without and 86 hauling them?

    Although the 325s are self-powered they are liable to mechanical failure - as are all machines - and the standby traction of 86101 / 87002 are positioned at strategic points to provide Thundrerbird options.

    In addition the locos are sometimes used for both driver training / refamiliarisation and therefore are used on normal postal services but tow the emu trainsets as part of the refresher course.
