We were chuffed to be given the opportunity to build this piece of history.
We fabricated this complete locomotive from start to finish. Developing the entire build with no plans, just a brainstorming session.
These little loco's are real workhorses. Reliability and serviceability were key factors across this project.
The train runs a diesel/hydraulic drive system, with all axel drive. It was a huge component of work, packaging this system and making it work effectively.
We manufactured this sheet metal body from a photograph of an original full-size 1950's DG locomotive. We blurred the lines between original DG and the functionality required for this build.
This project captures what Complete Custom Engineering is all about, taking ideas and bringing them to life.
We feel very privileged and proud to have completed this amazing build.
We look forward to seeing this train run the tracks for many decades to come.
