"Haven't a clue"
Someone sent me this scan, It's obviously Japanese and a 'might have been' 2-8-6+6-8-2(!). I know nothing else - can anyone fill in any details?
Brass
Not a subject I know a great deal about however there have been at several models:
Model Dockyard, Melbourne.(1960's) AD60 4-8-4+4-8-4 HO (Japanese manufacturer) vertical motors-not a good runner
Model Dockyard, Melbourne.(1970's) AD60 4-8-4+4-8-4 HO (Japanese manufacturer) open frame motors-a good runner
PFM NSWGR 4-8-4+4-8-4 HO - this was the 1970's Model Dockyard example (one sold on eBay recently for about £1500)(Hans Koppelt).
David Anderson, Mansfield Hobbies, Waitara, Sydney. NSWGR AD60 4-8-4+4-8-4 HO (built by Samhongsa) - the brass model to buy (if you can find one...)
Bergs Hobbies, Parramatta, Victorian Government Railways Hon3 2-6-0+0-6-2. Pilot Model produced for Model Dockyard. Also sold by PFM
Fulgurex. This was the second run "Model Dockyard" type - I've seen one, painted blue and lettered for
"The Elephant Timber Co.", for sale on Ebay where it had a starting price of £589 and it failed to
attract a single bid. The vendor was implying that many AD60's had been sold for industrial use whereas
none actually had!
