Classing: CBH - CBH Group (Original buyer)
The CBH class was ordered by the CBH Group in WA to help revitalise the grain hauling by rail in Western Australia. There were three models of locomotive ordered but all are classed CBH despite their differences. The models are MP27CN, MP33CN and MP33C. The MP33C locomotives are the standard gauge locomoties and to differentuuate they have been numbered with a leading 1, eg what would be CBH018 is CBH118 and so on. CBH 023 - 025 were supplied as compensation for the late delivery of the rest of the fleet (Citation needed).
