Do you know where in Thailand these ran?

I'm not sure, Bill. Two of the 1931 Sulzers wound up on the isolated Maeklong line. The Frichs locos were used on the Bangkok - Singapore International Express. Other than that, I don't know.

Any pics online?

Again, I don't know. Google Australia seems to down at the moment...

As and aside, what's the significance of the + and - in things like 2-Do+Do-2? If I ever knew the distinction, I've forgotten it.

The + indicates an articulated joint, the - indicates the speartion between bogies or trucks of one engine unit or articulated section.

Cheers,
