Only three of the 1460 class which followed had dynamic brakes, with the prominent angled vents on the short hoods ahead of the cab. I realise these were different to the NZ types in a number of ways, but I also thought that just possibly the bogie designs may give some clues as to what was on the NZ locos. The Queensland loco's didn't have Dynamic brakes. the NZR ones did 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

peach james Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 CNR in Canada had a pair as well- ex Port Stanley Railway, they came to Vancouver Island, then went to NL to presumably 42" gauge.

ellocoloco Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Hi Hayley, The RENFE had one EMD GL12. I don't know how similar to the G12 type it was but here are a couple of links that may be of use. https://trenesytiempos.blogspot.com/2018/06/las-tracciones-termica-y-electrica-en_20.html http://www.forotrenes.com/foro/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=64247&hilit=renfe+1401 Both are in Spanish but Google can deal with that! If the GL12 was similar enough to the G12 then I'm sure a few Spanish modellers would be interested. There has been a brass model produced of this engine but I think that was a while ago. https://www.alejandromodelismoferroviario.com/catalogo/1401/140110.html I also noticed that there is a G12 on Shapeways. https://www.shapeways.com/product/K8M28CEJU/g-m-emd-g12-locomotive-ho-scale-1-87-allbody?optionId=64642322&li=marketplace I don't know how accurate it is and I would expect you would have already searched for existing ones. I look forward to seeing how you get on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGR Hooper! Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 Thanks for all the input.... The first CAD rendering has now been finished and we've sent off the the CAD to the client to review. Here's a quick look. NOTE: It only includes the CAD for the chassis and the 3D printed parts. The grilles and handrails are not included in the CAD. We'll be doing both versions of the loco for the client. This is just the first, though I am not sure if it's the earlier version or later version. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you have modelled is the Phase 3 series (1440-1511) on the original fabricated bogies that were originally fitted to the Phase 1 series (1400-1429). The doors on the short hood are incorrect for this phase of locomotive. Also there is no recess for the hand brake which would be after the third hood door in the long hood behind the cab.

To try make things easier try to stick to photos of numbers for the phases being modeled: Phase 1: 1400-1429 Phase 2: 1430-1439 Phase 3: 1440-1511 Phase 4: 1512-1545 Happy to help!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What details are you specifically after? I can take measurements and photos as required. Is this project for model railways or for a train simulator?

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted June 9, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 9, 2021 The grille on the short nose appears to be offset to one corner rather than filling the whole panel in the photo above? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't fill the entire short hood. Sorry I meant the grille on the plate on your renderings it fills the whole plate, the bit highlighted below seems to be wider than the top flat area. Just something that grabbed my attention, (knowing nothing about anything on these apart from there was a Canadian version) The loco photos seem to differ from the drawing too on this. There also doesn’t seem to be a flat surround where I’ve put the red lines, the grille appears to be right to the edge?

NZRDaFan Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 On 12/03/2021 at 06:18, MGR Hooper! said: Hey, We were contacted a few weeks ago by a client who wanted us to design a KiwiRail EMD G12 diesel loco. Whilst the client could provide most of the information possible, he hasn't been able to provide us with as many photos as we'd like from various angles and your regular search on Google turns up few images, most not of great quality and almost all in the same angle. We need a little more help. If anyone has more images of this locomotive (from different angles) or has any links to a good source for images, please let us know. You can do so by either replying to this thread or sending me a PM. We're specifically looking for detailed images of the bogies (client says that there were two types) and images from other angles (all the images we managed to get are all from the same angles as the images we just posted in the thread. Any help will be appreciated. Regards, Hayley Hi Hayley, The Da class, as they were/are known here in New Zealand, had 3 types of bogies. The first being Fabricated, the second "Clyde" bogies and last the "Dofasco" bogie/truck (Pic of Dofasco truck below). Please feel free to email me if you need anymore info. Cheers David.

Hi David, Thanks for reaching out. But we've already completed the CAD work and sent the files over to the client. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
