Hello All ! Here is my latest train MOC ! It's a Victoria Railways S Class Diesel-Electric Locomotive ! http://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=83934 And my Aussie themed entry to The Great Breath Some Life into Loc.au.competition! Also, A Big Thanks to Dirk/Rollingbricks,for sharing his 8 wide Santa Fe Super Cheif Pictures ! Brief History ! The S Class steamtrain was built in 1928 and was streamlined in 1936.It made it's first Streamlined run, Named The Spirit of Progress ,on the 17/11/1937.In 1953,the B Class Diesel-electric locomotives were introduced.Sadly in 1954 the last of the four S Class Steamlined Steamtrain were cut up for scrap.With the great success of the of the B Class Diesel-electric locomotives, the S Class Diesel-electric locomotive were introduced. The B Class is double ended S Class . To Richie, could you please put a link to this Brickshelf file, for my S class Steamtrain. Many Thanks , Teunis M>ltc
