This volume takes
up the account of Comeng's history from 1985 and carries the story through to 1990-and then on into the post-Comeng era
at Dandenong of ASEA Brown Boveri (ABB), Adtranz and Bombardier. This volume
therefore includes the products that have been turned out from the Dandenong
plant from the time when Comeng's name ceased to exist. It includes
descriptions of the new XPT sleeping cars; the Xplorer and Endeavour railcars;
SEPTA transit cars for Philadelphia, and electric locos for India. There are
brief descriptions of the other projects during the ABB-Adtranz era. Finally,
this volume concludes with a summary of the contracts won by Bombardier up to
2012.

John Dunn has indeed performed a valuable service to the history of Corporate Australia. Comeng was of considerable significance to Heavy Engineering here & Mr Dunn has laid out in great detail the history and operations of that company in his series of five books. In the future anyone who was born post Comeng and has an interest and some knowledge of manufacturing processes in Australia's past should be truly impressed by the Comeng and Mr Dunn's history thereof.
