Class 34-000, 34-400 and 34-900

The first of the Class 34-000 locomotives were placed in service in 1971, and the last of the class 34-900 locomotives were placed in service in 1981. They are the GE U26C, and the first three were imported from the US, with the rest being built locally by Dorbyl. There are no visual differences between the three series, but there have been additions and modifications over the years as follows:

• The addition of a battery box on the left hand running board just behind the cab
• The addition of a saddle filter over the roof air intakes in the mid-1980s (All locomotives)

These are true HO scale models.

The model is supplied powered or unpowered and in 16.5mm or 12mm gauge. It includes couplers, screws and separately detail parts (Horns and vacuum pipes). It is DCC ready (8pin NEM socket) and directional lighting can be added by adding LEDs to the internal circuit board and optical fibre. It is supplied unweighted to reduce postage costs, we suggest using car tyre stick-on balancing weights to add weight to the model. The modeller will need to supply paint, decals and window glazing (Overhead Projector film works well for this)
