Thread: Alco 48 class loco pics

I've just Googled the company Southern Shorthaul Railroad & come up with this:
B Class Locomotives

B class is correct!

Here's the same two a year or so back doing the same duties on the Carlingford Branch. One of those locomotives is a model

Yeah...its in the (orange and silver) Auscision Models colour scheme which produce the loco in 1:87...some of Auscision Models' people work for/own SSR, I don't know the full story.

As an older car enthusiast, I think it's great to see the older trains still in operation.
At least SSR seem to take pride in their locos, most of the dodgy brothers locos are covered in graffiti.

I've met the Auscision boys a few times at train shows,good blokes and allways up for a chat,their models are probably the best Aussie ones I've seen(I don't model Aust.,so not an expert!),and they have allmost tempted me to build an Aussie layout......maybe????.Its good to see small private rail companys hauling freight and making a go of it,cheers Gregg
