Bowditch Rail Pty Ltd "The New South Wales PSM" has made a firm financial commitment towards improving work practices within the RIC by researching, developing and where necessary, importing purpose-built machines. To date as " The New South Wales PSM " Bowditch Rail has investigated, invested and imported five purpose built excavators two of which are Hi Railed, and all five excavators come complete with Tie tamper,Sleeper grab and a full range of buckets. They are currently being used within the New South Wales Metropolitan & Country rail network

After many meetings and negotiations with Komatsu Australia, it was agreed to import the machine entirely at the risk of Bowditch & Partners Earthmoving Pty Ltd, as Komatsu did not want to supply a one of machine in the country. The excavator was finally imported from Padova Italy, and the tie tamper from Japan. After seeing and trialing different after market tampers made here in Australia, this machine still remains the preferred method of spot tamping. |

3070
- After the spectacular success of 3060, the next mini digger arrived
in June 2001 at our workshop ready to be fitted out before going
to work with a Newcastle crew. This machine is currently being used
in the multiple roles of: re-sleepering (with sleeper grab attachment),
spot tamping, (with Komatsu Tie Tamper), drainage and mini-reconditionings.
The multi-purpose nature of these machines has made it a firm favourite
on the North West line with the maintenance crews on the Railways.
