<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A bundle of 4 versions of the Clyde built Queensland Rail 1700\/1720 class in both their delivery form and with the Driver Only Operation Refit.<\/p>\n
The 1700\u2019s were build by Clyde Engineering for QR in 1963 for use on light branch lines. Basically a stripped down G8 locomotive with an End Cab instead of a hood powered by an EMD 567C eight cylinder.<\/p>\n
The 1720\u2019s were a direct evolution of the 1700\u2019s designed mainly for suburban passenger services and general freight duties. The weight increased to 62 tons, the speed went up to 100km\/h and the prime mover was replaced with an EMD 645E eight cylinder and fitted with a quick start switch for faster acceleration. Many of the 1720\u2019s are still in service.<\/p>\n
Both of the classes went through a refit in the 90\u2019s for Driver Only Operation, recieving new larger windscreens and an air conditioning pod. (Because it\u2019s bloody hot here.)<\/p>\n
Features:
\nThe original end cab design of both the 1700 and 1720.
\nThe rebuilt Driver Only Operation version of both the 1700 and 1720.
\nModel Citizens AAR couplers. (Many thanks!)
\nCustom dirt and rust.
\nCustom sound set and horn. (Many thanks to Paul Shepherd on Youtube for graciously allowing me hack up his wonderful videos and harvest sounds from them.)
\nStatic versions.
\nReversed versions.
\nCustom numbers and headcodes set using the \u2018Train Name\u2019 option. 1700\u2019s originally bore 1700 to 1711. 1720\u2019s wore numbers between 1720-1775. The \u2018D\u2019 indicates the Driver Only Operation rebuild. You can use any 4 digits you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n
