About South Australian Railways T Class Locomotive (Narrow Gauge) by Damien Graetz
Introduced in 1903, The T class were the backbone of the South Australian Railways narrow gauge network for more than 50 years with some remaining in service right up until 1970 long after most were replaced with larger steam locomotives in the 1950's and diesel locomotives in the 1960's, such was their versatility at hauling both heavy freight traffic and express passenger services.
Due to size limitations, mine is unpowered and usually pushed by a powered wagon.
It's been built to 1:45 scale, Front pony wheels are the small Lego train wheels, while the driving wheels are Mediums and the tender wheels smalls. (Both from Big Ben Bricks) Rods are 3d printed; designed by myself and printed by Peter Brennan.
Decals are adhesive vinyl designed by myself, printed by my wife,
