Very impressive stuff, it's nice that you can have a physical reminder of your mates skill and passion and friendship
I was organizing my non-fiction books and came across an old book of my Grandmas she gave to me donkeys ago, it's full of trains, which I was obsessed with before Hotwheels and Matchbox took over
Thanks Slowlylearning, Will be taking the 44 back to the shop over at Kurri Kurri this afternoon the more I been looking at it, Its sitting on a home made chassis there is a lot more missing then the lights.
I was not happy with the 44 class diesel as it had a different chassis under it and there was bits missing off it so I took it back to Ivan at Kurri Kurri and swap it for another Diesel, NSWGR 80 class diesel and its in Indian Red.
Here is the 80 class diesel on Maitland Rail Museum's layout.
Pulling my Five S trucks.
And pulling Four Passenger cars belonging to one of our members.
Just got the second NSWGR 80 Class Diesel its in the Reverse colour scheme, there is more Chrome Yellow on the front and rear of the cabs and a wider strip a long the sides and the Indian Red is a darker shade.
Here is both 80's together.
Sat the 48 and 80's on Laurie's old layout for photo shot, Still got to buy a controller for it.
The 48 is in the 3rd paint scheme called Candy.
S.A. had the 48's but were number 830 class.
