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

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

Great work Tim version 2 looks so much better can’t wait to see the loco in
brick, in particular the cab redesign makes a more realistic model, I always
find it good to go back and tweek a model as you can add details that you may
have missed earlier on in the costruction, my Crocodile has had 6 minor rebuilds
over time when I have got either new parts or more parts that I was initially
short of. Peter is it a touch of the green eyed monster we are seeing afterall
the loco’s you built are Tims design anyway, why not try a rebuild yourself,
rather than critcize like a rivet counter. With colour schemes in N.S.W. during
the 1990s you could see 6 different colour schemes on the same class of loco,
some wearing schemes from the 1960s and still kept up to scratch by the running
department, take a look at Pacific Nationals fleet where most former Freight
Corp locos have only had PN sticker put on the side of them, its prototypical
for most railways to be running atleast 3 different schemes at a time over a
period of 20 years.
