Locomotives A small selection of unique Locomotives that are ideally suited to this railway. Most of these are kitbashed from commercial brands, some are scratch built. All have on board battery, R/C and sound, others will be added progressively.

Less frequently used Locos have electo-mechanical DIRECTION control and yet the sound Systems are more basic as discussed here. These Locos use three (3), 20 second duration, sound cards, each sound selected via Servo actuated CAMS and Micro Switches. This arrangement is easy to build, troubleshoot and repair. Generally, three (3) unique sounds are used; 1. Westinghouse Pump sound only ON while Loco is stationary. 2. Chuff or Diesel motor sound while Loco is in Forward or Reverse. 3. Steam Whistle or Diesel Horn [momentarily] at arc limit of actuating Servo arm travel. The foregoing document discusses how this is designed and built.

Geof's Krauss 0-4-0 is a severe modification to an old LGB model. Geof has drastically re-built a THOMAS to resemble the NSWGR No. 1804. This loco is an acquisition from Europe of an Austrian Loco {an LGB #23701}. D16 tank loco, ex QR, was a Bachmann Big Hauler, on-board battery, R/C and sound. The B12 1/2 is a blend of Bachmann parts, it has on-board battery, R/C and sound. The model of a 1924 version PB15 steam locomotive built on a Bachmann 4-6-0 motor block. Timber Tramway "Dunkirk" Loco built on an Aristo-Craft Motor Block. In fact, a B Class Dunkirk [V2 in the cab floor] loco. The Dunkirk is easier to model and is unique, few modellers have one. Timber Tramway "Heisler" Loco built on an HLW "Woody" Motor Block. Geof decided on an 0-4-0 Heisler [V2 in the cab floor] loco. Easy to model and is unique, few modellers have one. Timber Tramway "Climax/Dunkirk" Loco built on an HLW "Mack" Motor Block. This "Drop-On" body option is one of several that will be made as time goes by.
