Two and a half years ago I posted a
QR Class 2800 locomotive.
Today I’ve revisited it. I think the new version might be a tad better.
Comments and criticisms welcome,

Tim two and a half years ago I prototyped your original for real remember and I
sent you the pictures of the new color scheme correct?? Well the old version
runs on the track this version won’t guaranteed. You really should not have gone
to the 6 wheel bogie concept as it does not work in the 6 wide game.
I made 4 of these all up and I don’t own any any more, Queensland Railway
Workshop Museum at Ipswich own 2 and The QR Board of Directors own the others in
a display cabinet in the board room in Brisbane.
But unlike yours mine have the authentic QR Decal of “QR National” on sides,
front and back along with actual running numbers dedicated to loco’s that where
refurbished and sent down south to help out with freight haulage.
I also have a 5000 class as well in my collection that runs at our permanent
display home now at the Museum at Ipswich all are welcome to come and see.
So I think you should have stuck to the old design and left it alone now some
fool will try and run this on a layout and wonder why it won’t go??
Cheers mate just catching up with you

| (...) Indeed you did, as credited in the original post. Fortunately with another two and a half years of public use the range of pictures of the 2800s available online is broad which allowed me to make up for the loss of the original prototype (...)
