Chen Melling Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 7 hours ago, D6332 said: did the want to send to UK as well?!?! The EMD Model G "family" of types was designed to be usable almost on all main-line railways in terms of loading-gauge and axle loads. I wrote "almost" as the original cab was still a little too big for New Zealand, hence the rounded type. Also, the axle-loads were still too high for some lines, hence the curiously configured but still rather popular GA8 model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_GA8 as well as the more mundane A1A-bogied versions of some of the types. Nevertheless, the UK standard-gauge network never saw an EMD export type until the Class 59 (EMD Model JT26CW-SS) of 1985. This is in spite of very good experience from using EMDs of various export models in Ireland since 1960. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrails Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 The Duro Dakovic Seriies 0-6-0DH standard gauge, still active today in the standard gauge switcher, but has worked everything over the years. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neils WRX Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Watching with interest!! I tried something similar a while ago the early stages of my Czech layout were Balkan. Another option for a 661 is Balkan Models they made about 20-25. Klein also did the Eas’s Dom Models also did a ZRS coach Thanks, Neil 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrails Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 So Bos Poljana has a very interesting layout- big for a plank but in HO. Passengers stopped but a few shortsighted years ago(closure notice in situ) The power station is upper left, this is a triangle with a road overbridge, varying empties and full coal trucks are dropped off as the Kennedies now rotate to the varying mines and the Yorkshire style power station. The station looks very Austrian,# 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrails Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Donosnica, with its cute little Swiss cottage container above pictured, is a changever point for onward traffic to the other half of Bosnia;s Railway inthe the Serbian part. This seems simple but there is a wagon works, signal cabin and signals to the right towards Bosnian Lukavac. This is probably all I have space for and be a good first try in the big gauge.

Quote Standard gauge rolling stock is a bit better served, ACME have done a number of coaches in JZ, HZ & SZ liveries, Roco have done a number of goods wagons in JZ, HZ & SZ liveries, and some other manufacturers have done Yugoslav rolling stock - LS Models once did a bogie goods van in JZ & SZ liveries, Albert Modell do a number of bogie tankers, Klein Modellbahn did a number of 2- & 4-axle open wagons and a 2-axle tanker in HZ livery. Not aware of anything RTR in Bosnian liveries (post-JZ). I seem to recall a company making some of the Goša wagons in HO, not ACME but another I think based in Switzerland?

Roadrails Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 So my theoretical shelf takes elements of one end of Bos Posjana, and the other (30Foot) container station with full gabled roof, and the loading point at Donja Visca. This is one stop from Banovici, but not 12 roads wide. I have added a signal cabin and signals for the run out from Lukavac, and the engine shed from Banovici. The NG doesnt show all points but is a much higher shelf, in scenic woods over the bridge(which is a road. Its a shunters puzzle and really too short at 13 foot but has a run off each end. The NG has a station, watering point and coal point, and the coal is dropped into standard gauge... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devonbelle Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Excellent - Im glad Im not alone in my Bosnian modelling endeavour. Yesterday I printed (on a sculpfun laser cutter) all the parts for my Gauge 1 1/32 scale Bosnian diesel shunter. Ill post pics later. That will get built before the Kriekslok kit I purchased 2 weeks ago. Im just starting to draw up some ZfBH wagons. On the FarRail trip we travelled in a box van, which I named John, so that is crying out to be built. Like Road-Rails i too will build the cute Dobosnica container station. Again Ill draw up a container for printing / cutting on the laser printer. My layout will have to be very much abridged as its Gauge 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below is the diagram from this model's original specification brochure (from the collection of the Israel Railway Museum). Note that the diagram has the mid-1950s cab design, as used on the single G16 demonstrator, whereas all other G16 locomotives had the angular cab roof, as on the 661. Also note that the diagram includes only a partial (head-on) representation of the dynamic brake grids and fan, as used on the 661. If planning to model this type of locomotive, note that this has been done before: https://jnsforum.com/community/topic/14721-yugoslavian-class-661-emd-g16-diesel-in-ho/ http://www.asalat.50megs.com/661.html https://raymondwclam.blogspot.com/2008/06/kitbashing-emd-g16-model-in-ho-scale.html The easiest source for the bogies in H0 is the Roco model of the Renfe 319, e.g. https://www.roco.cc/ren/73692-diesel-locomotive-class-319-renfe.html Thanks so much for this plan. I am (madly) contemplating building one in Gauge 1, 1/32 scale. For now though I attached shots of the Laser cut parts I produced yesterday for the 1/32 JZ /ZFBH 6 wheel shunter. Assembly starts later this week. I put a particular effort into getting cab windows right. Prototype phot too; I took a few weeks ago. 4 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been sitting in this state for... about 15 years now. It was the decals that kept me from finishing, since I had no way back then to get them made.

Tom at Endon Valley can generally work up decals for you if your supply photos and the prototype- so he can scale transfers.

It'll be several months yet before I can reach out to him, as I'm in Ghana until the end of July, and then once back home will need to actually find where it's stored (all my non-TT stuff is packed away... somewheres). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrails Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Kennedy passes Bistarac Station- note the Austrian type style of the stations, other thsn the containers! As someone is doing the container this may be for me as found a kit to be adapted...its a first bash for me so the fear of it all going a bit Hornby is very real It is 316 which seemed to follow us about a bit. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrails Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 https://mehbu-lasertechnik.de/product/lasercut-zeche-zechentor/ Germany has the Ruhrkohle gates which are very similar designto the Bosnia/ex Yugo hammers- not sure who built what- read the Donbas and from there Russia's mines built by Welshmen, and one wonders if these or Germans built what or if all Welsh and Cornish miners began- not my area.

Roadrails Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) Good shot the green 732 which would be the class 14 like one I'd aim for Paul. Look forward to the article. I know the NG is a bit semi preserved but that 83 boiler was being lit to replave the Skoda mini shunter! Preservation just can't recreate that kind of environment. A 3D printed 7mm gauge Kriegslok boiler is on its was 1:43.5, so habits of scale here! Edited March 18 by Roadrails 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
