NZR DG class locomotive - HOnz
The NZR DG class locomotive was introduced in 1955. Built by English Electric, they were originally allocated to both islands. The fleet was eventually entirely based in the South Island from 1976. Some locomotives were rebuilt in the late 1970s with new cabs and engine upgrades, but withdrawals began in the early 1980s, with the entire fleet out of service by 1983. Several examples have been preserved.
The 3D print includes the shell, bogie side frames, and air tank to fit the chassis (not pictured). The model doesn’t include “wing” mirrors, ditch lights, or tablet exchanger brackets (as these details vary from loco to loco). Cab-mounted horns can easily be reversed; again, this feature varies from loco to loco.
