WRENNEIRE Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Taken in the mid 50's so maybe Blue Livery? I was told it was taken in Drogheda.
Garfield Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Great photo! Looks like the operating manual was only supplied in German...

Kinvara-Train Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Great photo! Looks like the operating manual was only supplied in German... LOL LOL LOL
Mayner Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) Great photo! Looks like the operating manual was only supplied in German... No access in those days to an on-line "service desk" in Kiel. The MAK was originally supplied as a demonstrator with an English speaking German crew in the hope of getting an order for main line diesels from the GNR or the UTA, then bought quite cheaply by the GNR. 800 was more a heavy shunter than a main line loco excellent for trip working between Boyne Road and Drogheda, being non-standard she seems to have spent a lot of time out of service waiting for parts. .

roxyguy Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Roco V65 much cheaper http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROCO-HO-GAUGE-63940-DB-CLASS-V65-008-DIESEL-LOCOMOTIVE-WEATHERED-/201227905100?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item2eda1e284c
Broithe Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 HO Scale as well Any model of that is likely to be H0, but it was a big lump and you should get away with it.
Blaine Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 The Kato/Hobbytrain V65 is the best of the lot; very heavy, worm drive, double reduction gearing, will easily pull 100+ wagons without a second thought......

roxyguy Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 For those brave enough to be modelling Irish in N gauge. Arnold appear to do one also.
Blaine Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Currently four on eBay and around the £100 mark. Decent price for one, thats roughly what I paid for mine.
BosKonay Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Is the V65 or SJa closer actual match? From reading, it looks like the SJ is identical to the MAK whereas they are both based on the V65 so there are small differences?

From reading, it looks like the SJ is identical to the MAK whereas they are both based on the V65 so there are small differences? They're essentially the same loco, Bosko. V65 was the class designation it was given by Deutsche Bundesbahn. MaK (Maschinenbau Kiel) was the manufacturer. There are some minor differences between them, one of the main ones being that the doors were located on the side of 800/K801's cab, whereas they were located at the cab ends on its continental cousins.
BosKonay Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Cheers Garfield! Managed to find it's 'records' http://www.loks-aus-kiel.de/index.php?nav=1402360&lang=1&id=11051&action=portrait
