Hi all,

Shortly after I made my Mallard Teunis Davey contacted me asking if I wanted to have a go at making a NSW Class 38. I did and this is what came out. The train is based on a modified version of the wheelset I used for the Mallard with only cosmetic changes. Lots of thanks to Teuis for ideas and suggestions along the way.

Please let me know what you think and any improvements I could make. MPD available on request.

Interesting; I didn’t know that John Deere built locomotives, too. I built this Massey Ferguson loco myself a while ago, in case anybody missed it. (I am a farmer’s son, as you may have surmised already)

Strangely enough I am a farmers nephew and a farmers grandson (times a few) but I am a city boy my whole life so no John Deere for me. That is the green and gold of Australia.

I liked that train. Especially the chain on it.

I see that you have started to build in 7-wide now without feeling that you have to come up with honor-saving excuses like “I thought it was a wide gauge train”. :)

I’ve done seven-wide quite a few times already (but all wide gauge).

That’s just great. I consider 7wide to be the coolest train scale, all things considered. It’s just that all of my MOCs have magically developed into 8-wides despite being 7- or even 6-wides in their initial versions. So now I’m sort of stuck in 8-wide (and I’m totally happy with that too).

I like seven-wide best in many ways but prefer the challenge of squeezing things into six. Sometimes (like this time) I’m willing to cheat a little though ;)

The “Homer Simpson ‘doing shady stuff’ head cap”-as-buffer idea is very cool, and the panels on the side work great.

That was copied straight from the Mallard

Thanks,
