This 62-ton narrow gauge behemoth dates from 1932. Two were built and I think they were the first to use the Bo-Bo-Bo wheel arrangement. Primarily a locomotive designed to haul heavy Pullman trains on the MOB’s 1:14 gradients (adhesion only), it also incorporates a travelling post office section complete with sorting racks, and a guard/luggage compartment. Finally withdrawn in the 1990s it was preserved and occasionally operated on the Blonay-Chamby heritage line but this year it has returned to the MOB main line for a handful of events to celebrate the railway’s 125th birthday. Also running this weekend is MOB railcar 11 of 1903, and a rake of carriages from the same decade. The MOB was one of the Swiss narrpw gauge lines that were built electric. Ireland got there first, of course, but all that survives of those pioneers is a few vehicles at Cultra. -

Hope you recover fully soon, Tony. The set you have there is of various mainland European prototypes - the carriages bear German lettering and logos. Nothing like any of these ever ran here. Not sure where you'd get spares but if you're anywhere near Mount Temple School in Dublin next weekend, some of the stalls there might have spares bits'n'pieces? -

Just wondering where you got the "U T" transfers and numbers - do they come with the kit? The green colour you have used looks exactly like UTA green did on vehicles like this, or secondary carriages, when it was somewhat past its best. It tended to lose its richness after not long in traffic. When brand newly painted, it looked quite shiny and attractive. -

Is "MOB" an abbreviation for "Mol_PMB"? Askin' for a friend.....
