Looking at  R2441  2004 model,  and  R3099  2011 model,   are these basicaly the same.

[Hilux5972]

Yes

[Dominion]

I think they are similar but not the same. R2441 represents the loco while it had an A4 style boiler. The wash out plugs in the lower firebox sides but above the running plate are angled.

The R3099 model represent the loco at a different stage in its preservation when it was fitted with an A3 style boiler, 94A I think. Those 2 wash out plugs are level with each other.

The dome on the R2441 model is a couple of mm further forward too.

Also, the earlier model used the sprung drawbar between loco and tender whereas R3099 has the plug and socket arrangement, giving provision for sound in the tender, the earlier loco having the decoder socket on the loco chassis.  Service sheets 284B and 388B refer.

Thanks for the replies does the Railroad version have the same

five pole motor as these.

The website quotes the Railroad model as having a 3-pole motor (+ flywheel).

R3099  having the A3 boiler would be ok for back dating to a 60s model,

would need the red name plates and a single chimney who makes the

best examples of these.
