The class 35-000 diesel electric locomotives were placed in service starting in 1972, and finishing in 1973. They are the GE U15C, and were imported from the US. They differ from the later class 35-400 (which were manufactured in South Africa) in that they have a longer hump on the roof with the air intakes on top.

The model can be broadly divided into two eras, Early and Late, the only real distinguishing feature being the addition of a saddle hood covering the hump, although not all locomotives have been modified in this way.

The model is supplied powered only (there is no dummy available) 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)
