BRVRR asked for more crossings. This was before it was ballasted but it's a crossing.

Let's keep it going - more crossings.

More Crossings to end the month!

Rule 1: This is my railroad.

Rule 2: I make the rules.

Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!

It's a Bayer Garrett (maybe spelled wrong), a British articulated design. Lots used in South Africa, Austrialia, and (maybe) New Zealand.

Thanks, 0-6-0. Big Smile  George had it almost right...it's a Beyer-Garratt, from, if I recall correctly, Kitmaster (later Airfix).
The model is actually OO scale, and is non-powered.  My LHS got two of them as unbuilt new-in-the-box kits in an estate lot.  He sold one of them, then asked me to build the other as a gag for a mutual acquaintance who was born in England.  The "gag" part was lettering it for a former local railroad.  They owned two ex-NYC Hudsons, numbered 501 and 502, so 503 seemed like a good choice.

Gidday George, the NZR G class Garratts, comprising of three locomotives, were disasters from their introduction in 1928 until they were withdrawn from service in 1931. The short time frame says it all!
 
An Sn3 ½, 1:64 scale NZR G class.
 
 
Please show me something completely different!

Cheers, the Bear.Smile

I was going to post a picture  of my 2-10-10-10-2, with my pet Norwegian Parrot in the cab, but he's pining for the fjords, and won't co-operate.  Besides that, May has ended. Stick out tongue

Hi Wayne,

You are absolutely right. I always thought that Kiwis were in advance over us Canadians but it seems that that particular bear is a different animal. 

Stick out tongue
