chris_irl Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Just wondering if these loco's were ever made by any of the manufacturers in HO? Not necessarily a US version either, though I would imagine it would be the most obvious. I'm actually looking for one to be an NZ DH class loco Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof Klyzlr Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Dear Chris, Frateschi do a U5B, does that help? http://www.frateschi.com.br/site/index_eng.php?page=locomotivas_eng Happy Modelling, Aim to Improve, Prof Klyzlr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious NSE Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 You won't find one from a mainstream US manufacturer as GE didn't sell those for use in the US, so it wasn't a type used by US railroads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parthia27 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Try here http://www.thetraindepot.co.nz/Frateschi%20NZR%20Catalogue%20May%202009%20-%20Electronic.pdf at bottom of first page. Google seems to throw up a number of alternatives Cheers ChrisM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegheny1600 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I think Baz Ward made one of these for his "Megalo Horio" Greek layout, a long time ago. I can't remember all that much but I think he used a Frateschi U5B as a starting point. Unfortunately, I've lost his contact details! Not much help, sorry! John E.
