‘SLNC’ down under

[Galteemore]

As a member of the Gauge O Guild I get updates from their photo gallery. Just in is this Class K of the South Australian Railways. This is the loco from which all the SLNC 0-6-4T locos derived, the likeness to ‘Lissadell’ and her sisters is obvious. The last K class went in 1956, so they had a similar lifespan. The modeller has, nicely, built it to proper 5’3 gauge.
 

They have also built an ‘L’ class, which is a nice ‘might have been’ for the SLNC…..again, the family likeness to the tanks is there to see. The L class were originally tanks and rebuilt.

The other interesting variation was K52.

SAR asked Dubs for a 3'6" gauge version of the K class.
