Built by Clyde Engineering in Kelso from 1982 to 1991, 84 locomotives revolutionised freight transport in New South Wales. Bringing new technology, superior power, and unmatched reliability, these locomotives still provide leading performance across NSW and interstate.

Mini Train Systems is building these locomotives in 5" gauge, with a powerful 1800w 48v drive package that easily handles 8 loaded straddle carriages on most tracks.

They are not only heavy-haul locomotives, but also highly detailed models!

FEATURES

With high power and great details, in addition these engines feature:

  • Key operated disable switch
  • Power connector for driving car mounted battery
  • 'Break away' disable feature
  • Improved Hand Held tether control.
  • MTS MU (Multiple Unit) Control System. This enables two or more engines to be coupled together and driven by the one driver. Power and control jumper cables link the locos together. Compatible with all MTS MU engines.
