<p>The Victorian Railways received their second series of T class locomotives from late 1959, these were mechanically similar to the first series but featured a new raised height operating cab layout. This new style of raised cab design featured throughout the remainder of the T class series.</p> <p>SDS Models are pleased to offer the inclusion of the T-2 series within our range of Victorian Railways T class models.</p> <p>Based upon the tried and proven Austrains T class mechanism we have comprehensively retooled almost every item, bringing the model inline with our exacting scale and design standards. Some 220 new or re-made parts are involved in the production of the four series we are offering below. All the models now feature prototypically correct width long hoods, series specific and appropriate fuel tank and battery box combinations, improved appearance bogie side frames and brake shoe / wheel tread alignment and a host of other design detail enhancements.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>Highly detailed Ready-to-Run HO gauge model</li> <li>Precisely tooled plastic body (ABS)</li> <li>Genuine Kadee scale head whisker coupler</li> <li>Separately applied handrails and detail parts</li> <li>5-Pole skew wound electric motor and dual flywheels</li> <li>All wheel drive and electrical pickup</li> <li>LED head and marker lights</li> <li>All models come standard with an MTC 21 pin motherboard</li> <li>Exclusive and locally recorded EMD sounds by DCCSound</li> </ul>

<h3>Powerline PT3-1-371 T Class, Series 3, Low Nose, VR T371 | HO Scale</h3> <p>The T class are a class of diesel locomotives built by Clyde Engineering, Granville for the Victorian Railways between 1955 and 1968. The concept of the locomotives was to partially dieselise country branch lines, along with offerring increased freight and passenger capacity. They eventually became the workhorse of Victorian Railways, and although ordered as branch line locomotives, they were often used on main line services.</p> <p>In June 1959 the first of an additional ten entered service. Although mechanically similar to the first batch they differed by having a cab raised above the hood line. A further ten entered service from December 1961. In September 1965 the first of an order for 32 was delivered. These differed by having a lower nose. A final order for 19 was delivered from April 1967. The last five were built with an extra 10 tonnes (9.8 long tons; 11 short tons) of ballast weight for improved adhesion and low speed controls for use as shunting locomotives in Melbourne. These were reclassified as the H class shortly after being delivered. In July 1969 an additional flat top unit was purchased second hand from Australian Portland Cement who had ordered it for use at its narrow gauge Fyansford Cement Works Railway, Geelong in 1956. Although outwardly similar to the original T class units it was fitted with dynamic brakes, and became a regular on the steeply graded Cudgewa line.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li> <p>Highly detailed model with authentic livery</p> </li> <li> <p>Upgraded and modified with MTC21 21pin socket</p> </li> <li> <p>Speaker fitted making the loco DCC &amp; Sound ready</p> </li> <li> <p>Directional Lighting</p> </li> <li> <p>5-pole can motor with twin flywheels</p> </li> <li> <p>Metal knuckle couplers</p> </li> <li> <p>RP25 blackened metal wheels</p> </li> </ul> <h3>DCC Type</h3> <p>This locomotive is DCC READY and takes a 21-pin type decoder.

<p>Built in Scotland during the late Victorian and early Edwardian eras, these small 0-4-0 saddle tank locomotives were mainly used as shunting engines in railway works yards around Glasgow, although they could be used for light passenger services as well.</p> <p>Known as 'Pugs', it was not uncommon to see these diminutive locomotives operating with a small wagon that acted as a coal tender.</p> <h3>Specification</h3> <ul> <li>Item Length - Without Packaging (cm):10.8 </li> <li>Item Height - Without Packaging (cm): 5</li> <li>Item Width - Without Packaging (cm): 3.5</li> <li>Item Weight - Without Packaging: 0.08</li> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>License: No</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Colour: Black</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>Operator: British Railways</li> <li>Designer: John Aspinall</li> <li>Wheel Configuration: 0-4-0</li> <li>Livery: BR Black</li> <li>Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 1</li> <li>Motor: 3 Pole</li> <li>Number of Parts: 1</li> </ul>

<p>The ED75-700 series was introduced in 1971 and was equipped with salt damage countermeasures for use on the Ou Main Line and Uetsu Main Line along the Japan Sea coast. Most of the vehicles inherited by JR East at the time of privatization have already been retired due to the abolition of passenger trains.</p> <p>The Akita Rolling Stock Center still has ED75-700 series after the 2000s, and in addition to construction and special trains, they also pulled some freight trains until 2008.

<p>The Victorian Railways built 53 K class engines at Newport Workshops over a 24 year period, commencing in 1922. The first series of 10 engines were progressively rebuilt in the 1940s to match the performance and visual appearance of the other class members. Later in 1946 the last 9 engines entered service, these engines had single cab side windows and the last 7 engines were fitted Boxpok style driving wheels.</p> <p>They were extremely versatile engines and could be found and all classes of trains, many worked until the late 1960s and several into the early 1970s.</p> <p>The Phoenix Reproductions model represents the class in it's later years of government service as well as several colourful liveries of early days preservation.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>Highly detailed Ready-to-Run HO gauge model</li> <li>Diecast boiler, frame and footplate</li> <li>Genuine Kadee scale head whisker coupler (Tender)</li> <li>Separately applied boiler details</li> <li>Working LED lights</li> <li>All models come standard with an MTC 21 pin motherboard</li> <li>Keep Alive Circuit</li> <li>DCC version with LokSound V5 decoder</li> <li>22" Minimum Radius</li> </ul>
