The SSR class were originally LDP class loco's, LDP 013 and LDP 014 respectively. They were built and stored off the production without a leaser until SSR bought the two locomotives outright to help move grain trains for the newly won Westons contracts in NSW. The loco's were the first appearance of the new, Mk II SSR colour scheme. The two locomotives ran cab to cab on a trial run on the 17/4/2014.
