Product Description

The NJ locomotive class consisted of six single-cab diesel locomotives built in 1971 for the Commonwealth Railways for use on the Central Australian Railway. The ownership of these locomotives transferred from Commonwealth Railways to Australian National in 1975. Following the closure of the Central Australian Railway in 1980, these locomotives were transferred to the Eyre Peninsula Railway in South Australia. All six were subsequently sold with the sale of Australian National's South Australian operations to the Australian Southern Railroad in 1997 and renumbered as the 1600 class.

These locomotives were later transferred to the Australian Railroad Group to operate services in Western Australia. With the splitting of the Australian Railroad Group in 2006, two of these units passed to Aurizon and four to Gensee & Wyoming Australia. In 2015, the two Aurizon units were subsequently exported to Durban, South Africa.

This model was produced by Leon Kernan of Leon's Models where it is supplied in HO scale (1:87). This model has been downloaded from Leon's Thingiverse page and rescaled to N scale (1:160). Minor corrections have then made to ensure the ability to print this model at this scale. In turn, this model is provided at Shapeways production cost with no mark-up and with the ability to download the model source file. This is being performed with the full permission of Leon Kernan.
