Done a great job of that Rod, looks really good and as Peter said, great weathering too. Quite an inexpensive little diesel that looks the part, I do like the extended and bent exhaust :D :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks guys.

It is inspiring to know that builders of your standings like what I have done. :thankyouyellow

It does make me what to do more and I will, unfortunately though I am not the quickest so it maybe some weeks or months before I get to finish another one.

I had one of these printed by a fellow down in Sydney. Haven't touched it, as I've three years worth of work ahead of it in the que! Bought the 3V IP chassis for it, as I was ordering one of their Simplexes anyway. Those two will be the yard shunters for my future sugar mill. The Jenbach is really a bit small for such a task, but several were in fact built by Bundaberg Foundry under license in the 1950s, for Qld's coal mines. The first was tested as a yard shunter at one of Bundberg's sugar mills. I believe it was rather under-powered for the job, but the model will go well with my Roundhouse Bundaberg Fowler.


Good to see yours is now running well, Rod. It certainly looks suitably grubby. :thumbleft: Like the exhaust pipe, too.

That looks a great little loco Rod, and your line has matured nicely too.

Thanks guys... :thankyouyellow

It's a nice little loco really, but I wish I had printed the sides and the grill slightly bigger, it only needs about 2 or 3 mm so it sat down better and the battery also had a little bit more room.

Still nothing to stop me printing another one or anyone else to make it bigger to suit..... :thumbright:
