NZR DC class diesel locomotive (shell) - NZ120
The NZR DC class locomotives are rebuilds of the earlier NZR DA class (G12) locomotives, designated as G22AR (AR for “Australian Rebuild”). 80 locomotives were rebuilt in Australia and 5 in New Zealand.
At one time the largest class of locomotives numerically in New Zealand, in recent years most of the remaining DC class locomotives have been withdrawn, with a number now owned by preservation groups.
Many have also been exported, including one to Tasmania, and others to Queensland and South Africa.
Scale is NZ120 (1:120 or TT scale). HO scale version is here.
Grills are now available for this 3D print.
