The Henschel-built Garratts had distinctly German-looking cabs; when you see one you instantly think "LGB!" <br /> <br />Interestingly, most users ran them in the traditional manner, with the water tender & smokebox facing forward...however, the South Africans typically ran their G-Class Garratts bunker forward, with the smokebox facing rearward, so the exhaust smoke blew to the rear and not in the operator's face. <br /> <br />Incidentally, I am scratchbuilding a 1/24-scale Rhodesian 15A-Class 4-6-4+4-6-4 using BBT 6-wheel drive units, but it is on hold until I sell my existing home and build a new one (probably resume scratchbuilding next Spring...sigh). It will be followed by a South African GMA/M 4-8-2+2-8-4, using BBT 8-wheel drivers. <br /> <br />[/quote]
