G'day gp792,

...Alex, that would be either an early "R" Class, a "New R" Class or a "Y" Class locomotive of the Victorian Railways, built at their Newport Workshops sometime in the late 1880's. Perhaps Aaron can provide more specific details for you...

G'day Azervich,

...are you sure, Aaron, that the large, lower (dark green) plate of the Cab side is just a steel 'plate' where it extends beyond the cab (toward the front of the locomotive)? In most other VR locomotives, this would form a box surrounding the firebox...

Hi Garry,

The sides are one plate, but in a 3d model when baked and has textures no one will tell I built it as two meshes, the reason why I built it like that is so I can throw the timber built cabs on it for a later version without the need to build and map a new side plate.

The Loco was built by Beyer Peacock 1878 and entered service as a Pattern engine from 1879, Phoenix Foundry Ballarat built copies from 1881 to 1883, they where known as heavy goods 0-6-0 at the time and where named Bulldogs, don't know why they where known as heavy 0-6-0's when the O Class from 1860's has a heavier axle load, in 1886 the Victorian Railways started to assign a letter to each kind of loco as their pulling power and axle loads where all different, they became R Class, around the same time another loco built from Belgian with similar stats where also known as R Class, then from 1889 another R Class was built from a design Kitson & Co, Leeds draw-ed up and became New R, then in 1951 another R Class was built and the remaining New R Class where re-classed to Y Class.

Their where 4 variations to the R Class, the Beyer Peacock R class was scrapped in 1924, and the very last one was withdrawn 1944 and scrapped sometime after it, preservation didn't start till mid 1950's so their where a few locos lost that where withdrawn between 1940-1950.

Cheers.
 
Played around a bit and rebuilt a three-bay hopper into a CSX steel bathtub gondola. Note that these are different from the ubiquitous Bethgon Coalporters from out west.

 
They rotate. The principle is the same, but CSX opted to rebuild hoppers into steel bathtub gondolas like NS did with the Top Gon program.
 
Now the correct livery for DSB pre WWII passenger stock.

The undercarriage is still somewhat bare and needs fitting out, as do the bogies - they lack both pivot and transverse suspension before they are ready to roll.

Roof details. Typical for older passenger stock; a warm water tank placed above the toilet compartments.

The coach still needs lettering but that is well underway and should be available before I rotate home.

This looks like the German DRG A4ü-30.

At the moment I cannot say anything with certainty (my connection is too bad for images), but I think I know which DRG coach you refer to FSP, and if so: yes, but shorter and different type of Drehgestelle. The DSB was indeed looking South for design inspiration during the 30ies, so it would not be a first.
 
Well it's 'Colorful'--but someone forgot the trucks! LOL.:hehe: A good 4-8-4 would a welcome addition to my stable.:D Finding any class of Steam Loco to fit the 20s-50s era is always a plus, and this one scores big. Only thing, it's just an extravagant up grade of the Berkshire,:o but the other Left coast always did follow us here in the East!:D // Frank
 
Heh, to be fair, the major producers of locomotives in the steam era - apart from Lima - were in the East. The only roads that didn't buy Eastern engines tended to make them themselves. And sure, they were built to our orders, but up until 1900 or so, it was the builders who determined how an engine met its standards, and also who determined what sort of flamboyant paintwork to use. That being said, we did lead the way in the mines - that's a different story entirely.
