Turrella Tramway is pleased to announce that it is planning
to extend its branch line beyond Locoshed
to establish a marshalling yard and carriageworks facilities deeper
in side the garage.
Added to this is the intention to electrify the branch from these new
facilities through
Locoshed, Bigglestown and on to Turrella Main
station.
On a recent inspection tour of the Rhatische Bahn facilities in Switzerland
the Turrella Tramway CME was impressed by the GE 4/4 II class of Electric
Locomotive
used on the Bernina Express on which he and his touring party
had the privilege to travel.
The search for an appropriately powerful loco to work the new facilities
and branch appeared to be over.
After some negotiation a surplus loco was procured and shipped out to
Australia.
What follows are photos of the new loco after its unpacking and assembly
on display for its media launch at Turrella Main Station.
Now does anyone out there know how to make Catenary cheaply???
