Well done Rod, that does go well and looks good too..... you have dirtied it up nicely.

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

Thanks guys.

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

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. Like the exhaust pipe, too.

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

Glad to hear you got it sorted Rod. Looking good now....

Thanks guys...

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.....
