Australian Z

[kevsmiththai]

So the other day I watched a 'Slow TV' documentary about the 'Ghan' transcontinental train in Australia. 3 1/2 hours long, no presenters and just pop up captions every now and then. Very interesting and relaxing but I had to watch it in chunks as I kept drifting into one of my Powernaps!

 

I had the Atlas editions static model of the NR class and a couple of coaches and though I wonder if I have a chassis to fit?

 

Voila, Body hollowed out and fitted on AZL SD70 chassis. Still needs MTL couplings added and handrails toning down. The big plate at the rear should be red and the grey bits on the roof and underframe look as if there black on the real thing

 

 

The coaches look as if the MTL lightweight 4 wheel truck with couplers will fit so I'll order some from the States and see
