Hobby Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) I've just got a copy of The Earl, the WLLRs in house newsletter and they have said that they are hoping to get one of the Taiwanese BoBo diesel locos, DL-34, 25 tons and 520hp if they can get space on a freighter from Taiwan to the UK! It's large enough to rescue any full train (including loco) if needed and will go round the sharpest curves on the line. Here's a photo of a similar loco: Interestingly there's already a model of these locos, at one point the 009 Society were talking about importing some but nothing came of it, if it does come over it will be interesting to see if anyone does try to import them! Anemodel are the manufacturer and there are some listed on eBay. https://www.anemodel.com/ecommerce/model/ho-scale/hoe規-阿里山第六代dl內燃車頭-dl-42.html Edited June 8, 2022 by Hobby 6 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jjb1970 Posted September 29, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 29, 2022 I have one of these and it's an excellent model. I am working on a narrow gauge loop layout with a hill in the loop. My plan is WHR on one side and Taiwanese forest railway on the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
